went to the gas station today and like every other time I get..."nice care man, how fast is it!" Today it was fifty something lady who also let me know she knew something about sport cars or at least muscle cars as she said her husband has a super bee! I told her sweet and wish her a happy new year!
|
Props if it was a '70's superbee and not the new charger one.
|
Yep, from the way she stated it..it sounded like an old school rod. Very cool in deed!!!

Had another big lifted truck pull up beside me and would gun it and then slow down to get beside me again. Im not gonna lie, that thing pulled hard. I swear these Texas boys love their big redneck trucks around here.
|
Wow, had another big truck pull up next to me and punched it, then an Evo soon after. This is crazy. All of last year when I was in another part of Texas I had very few people even look at my Z... now its like everybody has to prove they are faster than me. Have you guys been getting this much attention lately? If you don't believe me I'll start bringing a video camera every time I take it out. Geez, I can't image what it would be like to drive a Viper or something of that caliber. Annoying...
|
Yup. Just last night a truck was trying to race me. Lol.
|
Yup, fun and game with a Mercedes SL on the way home from the golf course today!
There was a lady at the detail shop yesterday with a 12 Altima Coupe that was oohing and awing over my car. Of course there was the usual how fast well it go and how fast have I had it stuff, but what was priceless was when the detailer stared up the engine to move the Z in the garage, she swooned and said ooh that is really nice...I love that sound. It doesn't get much better than that!!! |
I've gotten is the body aftermarket? Is it a Porsche? I've even had hate from 350z guys one flipped me off while I was cruising.... Or other Z ppl don't wave jeez lol, but overall I love my nismo I just hate the shitty service you get at the Nissan dealerships my car has been there over 2 weeks now... :/ just because of a tire losing air n then they damaged the side skirt with the lift so now after all the tire trouble going flat on me twice after picking it up n inconvenience it's at the body shop they are trying to salvage the side skirt which I don't agree with but the body shop manager told my advisor that he was doubting it was going to fit properly so they may have to order a new one n re paint... Going on to 3 weeks... Yay :/
|
I've also had a van filled with girls flash me :) it was pretty awesome wish my go pro wasn't on the fender would of been great to capture that moment

On my way to work this morning and after I exit this white escalade stops like 5 cars short of the light just to put his window down n say "I like that a noise! Very nice noise!" - Russian or middle eastern old dude with his family in the car... I just smiled n said thank you.
The meistershister stricks again! |
Yesterday on my way home from Yuma I had to stop at a boarder check station and after bottoming out on the metal speed bump I stopped as required. The boarder patrol officer said nice car...wow its pretty low. I said yep the speed bump is pretty rough on the pipes. He walk the length of the car and said 370z, I hear that's one of fast one you they talk about. I said yep...she will run. He said it looks like it, have nice day!

So I took the Nismo out for a nice weekend drive today. I came up on this POS hatchback looking thing with a fart can on it and he decides he won't let me go past him. Ok.. no problem, I just stay at the same speed, if he has to prove something so be it. But then he slows down and as I'm about to go past him he'll speed up again. We both came up to a stoplight next to each other and he won't even look my way. Of course when the light turned green he had to show off all of his 120HP. I whipped out the Iphone and started taking pictures, lol. He saw what I was doing and finally took off.

Had a guy flag me down leaving the gas station on Fri and hand me a "you've been spotted" national G Club card.
|
When I had my regular Z my neighbor never said 2 words to me. It might of been the noise from the exhaust:tup:. I live next to him for a year and a half. When I picked up the new Nismo he suddenly turned into chatty kathy.:rolleyes:

We are taking a gradual drop from 70 to 55 (maybe 50) and then blam......30 (school zone) and then 35 (speed zone near the hospital). Cops get people almost hourly there.

Well i just got my Nismo on Saturday Feb 9th, went for a drive to do some shopping and the like and I swear I see people starring. I went to the King of Prussia mall where I live and you have to stop your car and let people walk to the other part of the mall. When I was parked I swear almost everyone who passed looked at me and the car. It was awesome.

They always show a thumbs sign to me especially when I am at the car wash. Feels good! It is something new to the eye especially when most of the vehicles around the are american cars.

So far it has been mostly good. Lots of people pacing me on the freeway to get a look at it, a guy with a camcorder and various comments and questions. I had spoken to my car enthusiast neighbor a while back about being in the market for a new sports car and although he was initially disappointed I didn't go for the pristine Ferrari 348 that was available for around the same price he was surprised how good looking the Nismo was and understood the value in the 100K mile warranty!

I had an old man with handicap plates from Texas try to side swipe me today. I guess a red light means something different to him in Texas :facepalm: I thought I was going to have to beat down an old man today :shakes head:

I ran into another 2009 PG nismo once at KOP mall, and there is a 2013 black Nismo that is there very frequently i asume the owner works there |
I just had a really nice lookin M3 pull up to me on the freeway trying to get me to race. I just shook my head and hand no. I'm not much of a BMW fan but that looked really clean.

Oh, almost forgot.... today at the carwash a guy cleaning his Integra came over and starting talking about the Nismo. He really liked it. He was going on about how he used to own a 240 with some RB engine swap or something along those lines and how it could keep up with a Z06, until 5th and 6th gear so he says.. Lol IDK about that, but anyways...
His wife was sitting in the car and he says to me "my wife said to tell you awesome car! She said she seen you a couple days ago driving around and that your exhaust was so loud it scared the sh!t out of her when you passed by". I just started laughing. I told him, "yep, that was probably me". |

Maybe he ment RB20 or something, RB26 is the Skyline GTR engine, which is the engine of gods
|
A rb 240 that's enough to keep pace with a Z06....he got bored of it....then went on to a front wheel drive car?
Not looking down on integras but lol that's hard to believe |

Today I was on I-5 northbound in Seattle just cruising in moderate traffic; I looked over and a guy in an older Celica was either filming or taking pictures of my car. Haha, I probably wouldn't even take pics or videos of a Ferrari so I was pretty surprised that somebody took that much interest in a mere Nissan; my car is aesthetically stock excluding the gangster tint. He had his phone pointed at me for so long that I thought maybe he was taking video to capture the sound of my mean sounding exhaust.

To funny, yesterday driving north bound on the I-17 I went to pass a white 350z and got stuck behind a slower car while making the pass and when I look over the passenger in the 350 was snapping picture of my car with his phone. They gave me the thumbs and then moved over so I could go by. Lots of compliments lately...even had a guy wait at the door of a drug store I was at to see who was going to get in the Z. When he saw me unlock the door he rushed out to tell me how nice my car was and he wanted to take a look inside.
It kind of funny how a lot of people think its a high end sports car like a Porsche or Ferrari. |
I've had quite a few people at work ask me what kind of car it was even though you see Nissan on the front and back. One guy asked me if it was a Porsche. The car definitely has a different look from the base/touring Z, which is the reason I got it, so it seems to confuse people some times. I've also had people in G's give me the thumbs up or honk at me as I was driving. Not too many people wanting to race though, just admiration of the car
|
I've had quite alot of attention with my nismo in the 4 weeks i've had it. People on the fwy following me (vettes/viper etc). I think alot of people aren't sure what it is haha. A few have said it looks like a porsche, which it does look alot like a Panamera.. shape, bulging wheel arches, sloped rear, rounded front, just not as big and bulbous as the porsche. That's one reason i bought this car, there are harldy ANY running around on the streets. I looked at used M3's, prices are rediculous! and thought .. yah nice car but i see bmw's every 30ft, who cares just another bmw :rolleyes:
