 I've owned my car for over 6 years and purchased it new.  It is a true driver's car with emphasis on going fast and doing it well. Practicality and comfort are afterthoughts.  The trunk will take a reasonable amount of stuff, as long as you "pour" it around the strut brace.  Its handling is very confidence inspiring and the car always eggs me on.  It's like it's always taunting me: "You know, you could've taken that turn faster!"  I recently replaced the OEM tires with BF Goodrich KDW's.  Gas mileage plummeted, but grip is outrageous.  The new tires turned my Z from a nice car to a race car.  Engine is fantastic: incredibly reliable, predictable, smooth
