Are You Seeing 370's Out There? I'm not...

OldGuy · 12-31-2009, 01:48 PM

Writing from vacation on Florida's Gulf Coast. We drove from Pittsburgh to Marco Island FL (not in our Z) and throughout the whole trip and during my stay here, I've had my eyes open for Z-spotting. However, over 1300 miles and two weeks of driving through 7 states, I've seen only 3 370Z's, including here in warm and upscale southeast Florida. One was driven by a grouchy graybeard who grunted when I complemented him. The others were a beautiful PG and a very nice silver one I saw in Georgia and S. Carolina, respectively. I'm kind of surprised and also sort of feeling like a member of a special club!

Just a little over 10,000 370z cars sold so far, spread that out and they can be rare to find. I see one usually once a week, but that is about it in Houston here.

Horseface · 12-31-2009, 01:58 PM

I've still only seen 2 of them out on the street here in LA.

But, I've seen 3 of these:

And they've only made around 500 of them.

I'm convinced I have the only 370Z in the state of CT

and I love it.

I know of 1 other (than mine) that's black, and there's a blue z that's floating around, but I haven't seen in months.

That's it...that said, I know the dealership is selling them - they sold the 4 remaining of the 5 that were there when I bought mine, just a few months later.

m4a1mustang · 12-31-2009, 02:10 PM

I see them on the daily. 4-5 during the weekdays and if I'm out on the weekends I usually see one running around.

darkROAM_1 · 12-31-2009, 02:44 PM

In DFW there are supposedly tons of em but I might see one every other week or so. I think sometime next year or so they will start popping up in more places. Granted I live in the ghetto and it's all about bigger cars or trucks. Oh and mustangs or camaros or vettes (beat to crap C5' that look like total recoveries).

Heck, it's more common to see a used Porsche or newer Infiniti than see a Z of any kind in my area.

PG in SC, could have been me an OG, you see; you dang Yankee.

I will not eat green eggs and ham.

I was the only red 370 around for 6 freakin months, then the other day, I was driving in the mall parking lot and seen one, made me wanna punch an elderly woman square in the jaw.

RCZ · 12-31-2009, 03:50 PM

I saw 5 Ferrari Californias in an hour today, 5! I've seen a few 370z'z, but they are still very rare by Miami standards.

PapoZalsa · 12-31-2009, 03:56 PM

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.

Wow, that is pretty amazing for out there, I'm in LA/Orange County (So Cal) and I maybe see 1 a week, if that. I'm driving about 1200 miles a month on average.
I do see a lot of 350Z's and I sometimes mistake a few of them with a body kit and wheels for 370's, same with older Nismo's. But honestly, 1 a week if I'm lucky.

Northern VA is pretty loaded. I can probably count 15-20 late-model 911s a day. We've got our exotics, too. Lots of Ferrari/Lambo in the McLean area.

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

Urbanracer · 12-31-2009, 05:16 PM

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