Being a BMW doesn't get the 135i ahead in my book. As for the 370Z, it sits at the other end of the food chain in the Nissan lineup right with the GT-R. People will oogle it.
Pretty good point. You wouldnt believe how many people thought the Z would cost me close to 50 when i started talking about getting one. To me and many others it looks close to a super car.
