How does the general public/ car community view the 370z in your opinion?

[Gooch]

I think the 370z is sorely misunderstood by both the public and the car community. From what I gather, the general public doesn't know what to think of it, but car people in general think of it as an old, underpowered, slow car that only an idiot would buy instead of a new Mustang or Camaro. Every time I hear this, I get a sour taste in my mouth. I think most of us here can agree the 370 is a pure driver's car, and can not be compared to any muscle car, but people continue to do so. And as long as they make those kinds of comparisons, the 370z will have a bad reputation.
