Really? I would never have guessed...

I live in San Francisco and I could about count on one hand all the 370's I have seen this entire year, definitely under a dozen. This area seems to be home to the import market as well, strange.

Yes I agree, They aren't massed produced as much, like the other Nissan Models, so that make it's pretty cool. I don't want to take this off topic so please excuse me! But I wouldn't trust a Valet with my Z, from knowing friends that did that, the stories would make you think twice.. back on topic.

I've heard those sort of stories too, from friends who are valet's, but all they did where I valeted was back it in in front of the door. I also have a device that sends me text messages when it is driven over a certain speed limit, or out of a specified area that I can define.

So you get a text message and then what? You go running to the valet stand with the text message saying your car is doing 140mph about 30 miles away? That system would just make me nuts. My car will never have a valet's a$$ behind the wheel.

My Z is about the most exotic car in town......I've only seen one other, though my friend (Zpirate here on the forum) just broomed his Vette and picked up a PG 370 from Lou Fusz to go with his tricked out 350.....:-)

I've only seen one silver 350 in my area (middle Virginia). But then most of the people around here drive SUVs and pickups......yuck

It still IS a rare sight where I live in LA. I've seen only 2 of them. I've see more Ferraris, Lambos and Rolls Royces around here.

I didn't even know the 370z even existed until a couple of months back.
