Age of 370Z owners?

I thought i would be one of the only few around my age with a 370z. I worked my a** off to even obtain the idea of purchasing a 370.

I thought i would be one of the only few around my age with a 370z. I worked my a** off to even obtain the idea of purchasing a 370. At the same time though, i bought mine through a family car business and paid MMR for the car. That also helped out alot, but that insurance is a real pain in my wallet.

I'd actually don't want Nissan to boost Z sales. Make it more competitive.....sure.....but I don't want a Z around every corner like the vettes. Vettes and Camaros are a dime a dozen by me.

i say if you want just a regular coupe, just get the mustang or camaro or genesis coupe or even the G37C.

i just dont want 4 seats on my sports car. i want my Z to be impractical. i own one because i can.

the cargo cover restricts the use of the space in the hatch even further

I dont want a 60,000 unit annual selling coupe either, but if we can't hit that 15/20,000 annually. We not gonna have a Z. And we need 15k in sales in the USA to make it worth selling AND evolving.

If we sold 15,000 units a year, we'd still be 5 to 1 underdogs against one brand muscle car and 13 to 1 against all muscle out there. it would take 10 years to see multiple Z's a day at that rate. By the time it starts looking common. Here comes redesign in 6.

The 350 still looks like a Hot car. I see them about 3x a week. Every now and then i see 3 to 5 in a day but thats when the freaks come out. 150,000 350'z sold in 6 years. Thats not alot. Camaro Sold 125,000 units in 2009. We wouldn't be common.

Here's what I always say. I may be 49 above the waist but I'm 17 below the waist.

How many errors? When I first saw this thread I acted before I read, and I selected the group that I thought was the average instead of selecting the group I am in. I picked a younger group.
