How much attention does your Nismo get?
 

I love my Nismo and think it looks great, but I had no idea it would be getting so much attention on the street when I bought it. Maybe I am just so used to the look of the Z (350 and 370) that I don't think it stands out so much, but man I swear it is almost like I am driving a Ferrari.

I have been getting so many looks, and so many people coming up to me and saying "Wow beautiful car" and things along that line... I swear if at any point in the future I go 1 week without somebody saying something or staring me down I will feel like something is off:happydance:

Sometimes I feel like this car would be perfect for a pedophile because young boys seems to especially love the nismo:ughdance:

(disclaimer: I am not a pedophile, just sayin)

:bowrofl::bowrofl: Have you met frost? :rofl2:

Yup, tons of attention. thats why I was so happy after getting tints... Feels like it keeps the eyes off....

the nismo gets a lot of attention stock. A modded 370z (even just wheels and a drop) will get a lot of attention too. I'm actually happy to be rid of the attention since it was my DD. I'm liking the lack of attention i get with the 335, especially when i have to leave my car somewhere. But when you want to showboat, its definitely fun :D

Mine gets no attention, but it's almost always in the garage.

I dunno if it gets THAT much attention, occasionally I'll get a :tup: or a "nice car" etc. But it's not like I'm rolling around in a 458 italia or anything.

Funny thing is though, on those occaisons when I do have a quick convo with some random about the car, they always assume it's 50K plus car, they always seemed shocked when I tell them it stickers for $40K and can be had for much less if you're not a retard. :confused:

I was out for a cruise today and came up behind a caymann at a traffic signal. I noticed that I was stealing his looks from the rubber neckers at the signal. lol. Sad part was the driver was an old guy that was babying the car and was holding up traffic because he was driving so slow. That poor Caymann.

I agree with the OP, the car does get alot of attension. Way more then I thought it would when I bought it.

a cayman is much more conservative looking than a nismo 370z.

Does this answer your question?

Drove my gf to work today in the nismo and while coming back home, this 40-50 year old foreign lady opened her window and told me nice car. After that, her buddies and her were all giggling... lol

I've also had little kids point at my car with their finger following my car and saying "I want that" to their parents. Also some random guy on the street called my car a Ferrari... I don't know how disappointed he was when he saw my hamburger emblem instead of a horse.

Even though I have a regular Z34 lol I know what u guys feel, even dirty ppl say nice car. Once I drove next to a school bus on the highway and this little kids on the bus were drooling lol

Every time I take it out... one guy almost broke his neck the other day looking back at it. LOL

Lots! Especially when you have an FI exhaust...

More than you can afford, pal. NISMO!

^^^^LOL


OP, if you're not a pedophile, how do you explain your avatar? Just sayin'













j/k

i like how random cars, vans and trucks feel the need to speed up and pass me. as in ill just be cruising around 35-40mph doing the speed limit when i approach some 40 year old woman in a minivan. she'll glance over and next thing you'll see is shes increased her speed until shes doing 60mph+. its as if just looking at it makes people want to speed up in their own car. :)

And don't forget about everybody in a suped-up Honda who pulls up to you at a light and wants to race..LOL

ALL THE TIME, it's getting ridiculous. You don't get that in the GTR everyone knows who the big daddy in town is with that car :icon17:

/\ EVERY time I have the convo, that's the FIRST thing that pops in my head. One time I'm going to have to answer that way instead of being nice.

pssssh, in a GTR, you'll get harassed by mustangs. Not Shelbys or other nice mustangs either, I"m talkin about early 90's thru early 00's beat to hell but have a loud exhaust mustangs, in bumper to bumper traffic of course.

When i had mine alot of ppl thought nice body kit etc...they thought it was aftermarket. But they were not in awe about it. They were more like its okay....they preferred the new challenger. Ppl in the south like their american muscle over any import. Oddly i didnt have too many that wanted to race. They didnt know it comes like that and of course they didnt like the spoiler. Regardless if it looks good or not, ppl down south dont like spoilers.

I actually don't get a lot of looks here in El Paso Tx. However, when I lived in WA state and drove my 05 350z with the full V2 nismo body kit, got a whole lot of attention. I just think it depends on the location of where you are like Nismoracer says. I think the community around here are more into Mustangs and Camaros.

At least you didn't have an EVO following you for 15 minutes like I had last Friday night. :facepalm:

WOW It never ends :facepalm: in that case I need a Ferrari :p
WOW talking about persistence - MUST ADD 5.OOO TO KILL LIST, MUST DO SO :icon17:

Had a guy this morning at a light asking me a question I never got before. He wanted to know what kinda of gas mileage I got? I said depends how far down my foot is on the accelerator!! LOL !!

ive got that twice, but my most asked red light question is "how fast you got it up too?)

You told them over 9000, right?

Maybe we need a new thread for Red Light Questions

No attention given in my NISMO. Then again I live in Vegas where lambos and Ferrari's are abundant and the Corvette is as common as a honda

i get the how fast question alot...

i ttell them with a better wing im shooting for 200 LOLOL

I drive to a club/restaurant and employees immediately think I'm going to valet park the car. It's annoying because you pay a dude to park and pick it up from 15 feet away just so it can be front and center... I should ask to park it myself and see if they'll only charge me half.

I don't even have a NISMO but I seem to attract the same behavior.

The other night, I had a guy in beat up integra riding my rear. He then nearly rear ended me as he did his fly by (meanwhile, I'm already doing 55ish in a 45).

When I got up to the light, he gave me this angry look and revved the hell out of the engine. I'm a jerk, so I revved a bit back and gave him some crazy eyes. I just made a right turn when the light changed as he sped away. :tup:

A few days ago I was at a light and the guy on the other lane hit the car in front of him because he was checking the Z out LOL.. and yesterday a guy on a Scion tC pulled next to me at another light and complimented me on the car. He said something about how he was thinking about getting one and some other stuff, I was too busy checking his gf out :D

I had a newer corvette riding my arse today on the freeway, and as soon as he got the chance he did his ricer flyby. I haven't gotten to many of the street racer wanna be's trying to get me to run, but my Nismo isn't a DD, so I don't drive it all that often at night. Which that seems to be when they are lurking.

:iagree: LMFAO! Totally agree! I also think the car is way more a guy magnet than a chick magnet. What I mean by that is I have received about 10 times more compliments on the car from guys.

Aggressively passed an Integra and when it caught it there was a number on the window.

Lmao ^^^^ I know when I pass by or on a stop light guys pull their windows down and ask is it a Porsche? I get mad but inside, I know they don't know and when I say is a Nissan they always have this shock face. Priceless is like when you enter a club with a super fine girl and all guys are drooling wishing they had her =)) best feeling ever lol

^^ it's always the middle aged guy driving a family car... or middle aged women. Its always the same questions too...Is it fast? How do you do like it? How fast have you gone?

Also, it's a miracle if I can go through one day while driving Z and not have someone try and race me at a stop light. I never bite, but I think it might have something to do with the louder exhaust and the way I shift. Lately though, I find it pretty funny if I rev the engine while waiting for the light to change and stare the other driver down... then accelerate normally. You can usually spot the stop light racers a mile a way. Funny enough, this usually works and most people just back off after seeing the car....or they just look like an idiot launching their car.

^^^^ or the other ? Is it a V8 lol I always get hondas and Acuras try to race me. But I always en up taking them they don't know that our Zs peel in 2nd as well lol
