Sllly little question

Dude, c'mon... I mean, as much as I love my 370Z, it is NOT the be-all/end-all of cars. There are plenty of cars out there that will beat it in

Dude, c'mon... I mean, as much as I love my 370Z, it is NOT the be-all/end-all of cars. There are plenty of cars out there that will beat it in a straight line (hell, my 1972 Corvette with a 383 stroker will spank my Z big time in a 1/4 mile) or on the twisties.

Just enjoy the 370Z for what it is - a great sports car that is a great value for the money!

PS: And just a friendly piece of advice - quit driving like you "own the road". You don't, and one of these days you're going to find out the hard way. Peace.

I don't think he was saying that his car was the king of the road, just that it gets all of the attention.

It's the same with me, constant stares and second glances... pretty funny. I've yet to come across side-by-side a car to steal attention away from the 370Z, but I've seen a few Lotus Exige's on the road, and that would do it... at least for me it would.

Sorry you misunderstood me or i wasn't clear didn't mean it the way it sounded
by owning the road it came out wrong. and i wasn't talking about speed iv'e owned 3 vettes so i think i know a little about straight line speed. my point was more about the style of the 370 and the bang for your buck.

Why not drive like you own the road? We pay enough in incometax, property tax, vehicle registration, vehicle inspections, sales tax, gas tax and more. Then if you get caught driving like you own the road the state will make sure you pay for that too. Have fun just be safe and remember the driver next to you owns the road too.

Why not drive like you own the road? It's that "be safe" part you mentioned...
