My girlfriend says I have a great drag coefficient, in that case.

i don't know about the aerodynamic of the wing but to date, it seems to attract Audi S4, Corvette C6, Mustang v8, Acura NSX, Porsche Cayman, etc...

of course, maybe the wingless 370z would also attract those crowd too, where i live

As in...make them want to race? Or get them to look?

I remember I test drove an RX-8 when they were brand new and still looked cool. I didnt even get 200 feet down the road in the test drive, and someone was trying to coax me into a race with their Camaro SS. For some reason, right then, I knew it was not the car for me.

i think the nismo body kit makes them think it's a fast car and the drivers of those cars are always looking to challenge other fast cars.

unfortunately for them, i am a slow driver in a fast-looking car

Rofl. Yeah, wings will tend to do that...Ive driven past many an import and domestic similar to those. Either a quick nod/wave was about all that happened...no racing attempts. Probably a good thing, seeing as all of those cars would smoke us, barring plenty of mods...

I found myself laughing way too much the other day (I was a lil baked). Driving down a 3+3 50mph road (state hwy) and I look around and see a early 2000's Z28, a GT from the same time period and a brand new GT. I just cracked up because the mustangs were revving and **** and I knew I could beat them. Didn't feel like making myself look like an *** though, so I just laughed and they sped away.
