Nissan 370Z Forum  

Seems like noone even knows the 370Z exsists...

I mean don't get me wrong, the "car guy" obviously knows about the 370Z but it seems like every average Joe or Jane seem to think this is a 350Z.

I guess that isn't a bad thing because it gives a rarity the 350Z didn't have but kinda gets annoying explaining over and over again. Maybe it is just me, but in the Philly area this seems to be the case but then again I can count on one hand how many Z34's I've seen since their release.

For instance, I ran into a girl friend of mine and she says "why did you get another 350Z?"

How 'bout calling both 350s AND 370s "Porsches"?? It's happened, too!

I find it amusing when it happens. My little cousin did it...her jaw dropped when she saw it on Thanksgiving, and goes..."YOU GOT A PORSCHE?!"

But then the opposite occurred with this girl I've started seeing. She saw it, her jaw dropped...and she said "You got a 370? Those only just came out!". And then my mental jaw dropped, cuz this girl knows her cars, and thats nothing but a bonus in my book.

My 370Z causes near-accidents in CT and has the strange ability to force BMW, Audi, Evo and WRX-STi and even Porsche owners into feats of utter douchebaggery.

thankfully they don't copy german quality control. otherwise we'd all be driving loaner versas 90% of the time while the z is in the dealership service department being fixed.
