Default Some kids thought my Z was a GTR

Was cruising through my neighborhood the other day on my way to the gym. As I was turning right at a stop sign there were a few middle school aged kids walking by and as they saw my car they started yelling at me to pull over so they could check out my "sick car".

I just ignored them and kept driving but heard one of them yell "sweet GTR man" lol. Does your Z ever get misidentified as a different car and if so what kind?

Got it a few times, especially since the facelifted version is less common here.

But not to side track, I remember those times when I was a kid seeing some cool cars without knowing what they were at first. I was already on the company of a car collector so to see something different just really piqued my interest because it was like "where the hell did that come from?" since I thought I saw everything at least in a magazine.

So when I see/hear kids outside reacting to my Z it's cool. Not in that showboating way, but it's a throwback thought to when I was in their shoes.

Usually a Porsche. Someone asked me what car it was at a stop light, and I told him it was an electric vehicle, he believed me.

I used to get 350z and Porsche before the body kit. After the body kit, I got what kind of car is that? ALOT.. Fewer said Porsche. I got aston martin one time, I laughed for longer than I probably should have and told the guy I wish I made that much a year. lol

A guy asked me if mine was a Porche at a stop light. He then proceeded to tell me about his sweet four wheeler that will just "stand straight up"

Lol that's funny you mention that about the Aston Martin because one time while filling my tank at BP a guy thought mine was a Maserati. I told that guy the exact same thing - I wish I made enough to afford one.

I think it's pretty cool that a middle school aged kid would even be aware of the GT-R's existence.
