Why dont you see many 370z's on the road on your commute?

m4a1mustang · 08-15-2010, 07:58 AM

In the past week of commuting to and from work I'd say there have been at least 5 instances where I was NOT the only 370Z at a stop light (heading in the same direction, no less!).

I guess a lot of this can be attributed to the wealth of this area and the fact that our unemployment rate is far below the national average, so everyone's making money and is spending it accordingly. The only thing that's going to save the 370 from being as popular as the 350 around here is the fact that Nissan has scaled back production compared to the 350s, so they won't end up quite as popular, but I know I'll count on seeing a handful whenever I drive somewhere.

I have seen about 3 Zs on the road in my entire life.

A black 350Z,black 370Z and a platinum graphite 370.

at the track there was one pearl white Z.

so in total I have seen about 5 Zs other than my own one.

OldGuy · 08-15-2010, 02:12 PM

We see an occasional 350Z but 370 Z's here in Western PA are few to none.

TongMan · 08-15-2010, 02:26 PM

I have seen 0 while driving my 370z.

kenchan · 08-15-2010, 07:40 PM

I've only seen a handful in my area too.

Sweet. Definitely want to check that out when it's done.

tranceformer · 08-15-2010, 10:11 PM

Other than Z meets, I hardly see any down here in south FL. Maybe one every few weeks?

m4a1mustang · 08-15-2010, 10:27 PM

Driving over to a friend's for dinner tonight I saw two 370s. Monterrey Blue and a PW, both coupes.

Zsteve · 08-15-2010, 10:29 PM

I see about 2 every day on post where I work and about once a week in the city. They are getting to abe a common scene but not real common like the 350z or stang or even camero now.

m4a1mustang · 08-15-2010, 10:31 PM

It's unlikely they will ever be as popular as the 350 simply because the production numbers are so low, but they sure are starting to make their way out of the woodwork around here. I keep seeing more and more every day, often with temporary tags.

bullitt5897 · 08-16-2010, 01:00 PM

you guys do know why you dont see that many 370z's right....

Its cause we are all MBP's (Most Ballin'ist Playa's)!!!! All the 350z, ford Mustang, Camaro owners wish they could touch our status!!!! Shhhhhhiiiiiiiiitttttt They aint got nuttin on us brothas!

m4a1mustang · 08-16-2010, 01:02 PM

I just drove 2 miles to grab lunch and saw a PW coupe.

People are hung up on needing AWD and 4WD cars here because of our winters, so you really don't see many RWD sport coupes around. Most G35's here are G35X models, and BMW's are almost all X-drives.

I've seen maybe 3 other 370Z's in the state, none of which looked modified at all. Odd because all of the Nissan dealers have them in stock, and they seem to move through their inventories at a decent rate. They must be purchased as garage queens for some of the semi-wealthy retirees in Park City and whatnot.

The AWD thing is funny... I don't think any drivetrain configuration or differential combination could save Utah drivers from their own idiocy.

AWD helps with braking and turning in snow, dawg. Know yo sh!t!
