Yes, but you forget that by having a base model stereo in the Nismo you can pull an additional 0.0002g. It handles like a completely different car! I know this because the Internet and Car & Driver told me so.

Interesting comments. Having owned an 05 C6, an 07 Z06 and an 09 Z06, I became quite used to the "Corvette wave" where any generation Corvette will wave at another generation. True, a few people didn't wave back but in my experience, the majority did. It's unfortunate that there appears to be some degree of animosity or jealousy on the part of 350Z owners based on this thread. I did wave at a 350Z and got a wave back.....so maybe not all is lost.

nismo's overated..haha!

Thinking about it, I haven't got the best reactions from the 350z's I've seen.

Only once I got a wave back from a lady in a 350z, otherwise I get snubs...

We should make a bumper sticker "Stop hate'n, we are your friends!" or If you drive a "Z", give me a thumbs up".

I see alot of chicks driving a Z, some of them are really stuck up...

I haven't noticed the "hate" out there from other 350Z owners and I do wave at other Zs when I see them on the road. I can say that among our group of Mid-Atlantic 370Z owners we also have two 350Z NISMO owners and a 300ZX(TT) owner who also has the new Black Cherry 370Z roadster. Last year we had a group meet and three GTR owners came and joined us for beers and dinner as well! They are all great folks because they are all enthusiasts and enjoy getting together with others regardless if they are 370Z, 350Z or any Z owner. Ages for our group range from early 20s to mid 40-50s. Thats what makes it fun!

Here there's not much waving. But recently pulled up alongside a highly and tastefully modded 350. He actually lowered his blackout tints to make sure I saw his wave. There's some who respect, some who don't, and most that probably don't care.

before i joined forums like my350z and this. i always found these "waves" kind of awkward and strange. i would pretend i didn't see them or wave back with a confused face expression.

but after joining this forum, i now know why we wave and i always wave back. =)

thank you the370z.com

Since I had a 350Z and went to a lot of 350 meets I don't have any problems that I know with the 350s owners around here.

I will see in the next few weeks when we have a big Z/G meet in this area.
