OK, you all know how much fun this car is to drive. Unfortunately, I have a bit of a heavy foot. Did I mention how fun this car is to drive?

welcome to nico!not sure about retrofitting oe cruise but you can go to your local rv center, they likely still sell the stand alone cruise units, there are a few types available, some measure driveshaft rpm, others use engine vacum to pull a dashpot, but there are aftermarket units available, dealerships tend to be very narrow minded

LoL I had the same problem. I have the Coupe version as well. I used to be able to just forget where my foot was, and still avoid speeding tickets. But it's not like that with the Z, start to zone out a lil bit and I'm almost at 90mph, I was hurting real bad with a cruise, and sometimes regretted not getting the touring model, or fully loaded. But eventually u get used to it though and u can zone out with out getting nabbed! So don't stress about the install.. cause it really will involve a lot of components and wiring.

Yeah it would probably be a lot of work to install cruise control. Just watch your speeds.
