"I want to know what the Z, in any of its generations, means to you, as well as what you hope to see in the latest Z being presented."

It was a question asked in this Speedhunters piece that covered a lot of the Z's history quite well, ahead of the Z Proto Digital Unveil.
Curious to see everyone's response.

For me, the Z was always the answer when looking for a no-BS, powerful, naturally aspirated, front engine, rear-wheel-drive car.

To me, the Z has always embodied a lightweight chassis with a precision-built feel and handling to match. It's an autocross dream and weekend track machine. It's an every-day car-guy's wet dream for mentally escaping. It's for canyon-carving, car meets, and commuting.
