LOL sounds like Greenwich, CT, where I counted 3 Porsches, 8 Mercedes, 3 Jaguars, 1 Aston Martin, 1 Ferrari, and 6 BMWs in one block the other day.

Nope, no 370Zs in CT but mine

I drove from VA to Florida roundtrip and didn't see a single 370Z in I-95 or in the Jacksonville area. But saw plenty of 350Zs.

However, I bet that they are not going to be driving them in the Winter and for Holidays trip. Wait for Spring and Summer you will see a few of them.

Urbanracer · 12-31-2009, 05:16 PM

I've seen about three in the last 8 months. There are alot of 350's around.

Jordan777er · 12-31-2009, 05:50 PM

I've only ever seen one on the road, but both dealerships in my city are full of them. I guess no one in north Louisiana wants a Z.

StLRedrider · 12-31-2009, 06:22 PM

besides on a z cruise, i have only seen 3 since they came out. i think it's great!!!!!

DaveyG · 12-31-2009, 06:54 PM

I've only seen one white 370z here in Buffalo, NY all year.

One_Quick_Z · 12-31-2009, 06:59 PM

There are about 9 370Z's in the Midwest by Chicago, and I have the only White Touring Ha I love it!!! But I have only seen 3 different ones on the Road... The only reason I know there are about 9 in the area is I called around to all of the Dealerships and thats the total # that was in the area.

I've only ever seen three live ones ever. There are four in town and two up Island. In all my time driving around (and I drive around a lot in the summer) that's it - three. Of course being so rare the 370Z gets gawked at ALL the time. Its crazy....

Ztoon · 12-31-2009, 07:21 PM

You know how, when you by a..... say a VW beetle, then suddenly it seems everyone has one?
Well, I've never seen another 370 in our town of 75,000 all year, then the other day I pull into my buildings underground, there's another 370Z....same color.... three spaces from me.

BrianMSmith · 12-31-2009, 08:44 PM

I used to see a lot of 350Zs, so many I considered not buying a 370Z thinking there'd be 3 or 4 at every stop light, but due to the weak economy (actually just the economy correcting itself after unsustainable growth to support debt spending) and the majority of people being very poor financial managers, combined with the banks getting back to rational loan policies, and I doubt we'll see many 370Zs on the road for a good many years..

This is what I was kinda hinting to in another thread about how hard it was to buy nice cars back in the day. Many people in the last decade or so got in over their heads on cars and houses so now banks are being more strict.

Ive only seen about 3 or 4 other 370s but a **** load 350s. The 350s are almost as common here as the freakin mustang, which I see about 50 a day of.

Doubtful. I think by the end of next year 370s will be almost as common as 350s in my area. On any given weekend I see a minimun of 20 per day. They are almost as common as Mustangs.

Since I started noticing Zs sometime in August I have seen only ever seen 1 on the road. This was when I was first thinking about getting one, the driver was a real nice guy, PG Touring/Sport with Nav. I have seen signifigantly more Astons, Bentleys, Maseratis, you name it in the past week than I have seen Zs. I really do feel like I'm in an exclusive club. Even more so when someone in a car that costs 4x's the amount mine does stops and looks at it in a parking lot.
