Now that's just racial stereotyping.

Most are at least 9 years old and their little hands are quite good for detail work.

I haven't seen near as much hype for the 400Z as I did for the Supra or C8 Corvette. Some dealer markups on the C8 are still crazy high as supply can't keep up with current demand.

Did some canyon driving with some friends a few weeks ago and one of them had a beautiful Z in almost the same shade of orange as my C8. I love seeing a clean S30.
