Are you the coolest person just because you are driving a Z?

JohnYu · 03-10-2015, 02:52 PM

I think my car really gets attention from most people on the road , what about your guys ? Any interesting stories wanna share here ?

what is the most complement that you have ever gotten for your Z ? The worst complement I have ever gotten was : nice porsche back there !!!

gbrettin · 03-10-2015, 02:57 PM

I don't care what others think.

jmayz · 03-10-2015, 02:58 PM

I've only had mine a short time but people being keep comparing it to a Porche! I think that's a compliment?

I had one guy stop at a stop sign about 30' too far back because he was watching my car drive by and even pointed at me as I rolled by.

i've had random folks snapping pictures, which is always nice. Seeing a z isn't like spotting an exotic, but i think most people view the z as sort of a "danggg that's what i really want to be driving this summer" car.

especially a nismo : D

I've heard of some random members of the general public trying to mate their cars with fellow forum member's Z's. But those stories usually end up in tragedy or with at least a few thousand dollars spent at the body shop

JC-Nismo · 03-10-2015, 03:55 PM

It's a bit of an attention grabber, kinda shocked actually cause in Atlanta you see Exotics on a daily basis and to have folks stare at a Z like that is a bit of a wonder.

My alter ego sais I'm the coolest mofo on the block... While at my cabin by the river!

Magic Bus · 03-10-2015, 04:59 PM

Whadda ya mean? I'm the coolest person with or without the Z!

Many good stories but I'll share one. Parked in a Waikiki lot, then walked to the parking lot pay machine just two stalls away to get the receipt to put on my dash. 2, 20 something year old, US female tourists walked up to my car, stood by it and one told the other, "OMG I love this car", her friend was taking out her cell phone out to take a picture of her with my car. They didn't know I was the owner standing almost right next to them, so I replied "thank you".

This kind of startled them and the girl who made original comment then said "I can't believe I just said that so loud". I smiled and said "thank you" again and told her to feel free & take a picture with the car.

To be honest, if I knew it would get this much attention I would have bought something else. Attention in the big city is not a good thing.

Tadpole · 03-10-2015, 05:13 PM

Hell yea Im the coolest dude beeoiittches!

lj909 · 03-10-2015, 05:16 PM

The kids and teens always look and tell me something when i wash it. I think people really like the red calipers. And there's a ton of dodge guys in my area that always stare. And i get and give props to all the subi guys.

It's all good!

I drive with my nose so far in the air I can't see the lesser peasants around me

Duc_Z09 · 03-10-2015, 07:34 PM

I've never been cool and I'm not about to start now. My NISMO gets lots of attention but if that makes me cool I may have to trade for a BR-Z or something.

Zoren 370 · 03-10-2015, 07:57 PM

The Z has a niche market compared to all american muscle cars. Which in a way is good the lesser they see your Z around the less they get bored with it.

In my town alone only about 4 people that I have seen drive around with a 370z
With a population of about 13,000. And 3 of them are bone stock.
Guess who is the other one that is modified looking Z?
Ain't that cool?

Our Nissan dealership dont even have one on their lot!
