Nissan 370Z Forum  

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

I live in Hawaii and just bought my 370z touring/sport. I upgraded from my '05 350z. I'm in love! I would have to agree that the Camaros are all over

Default Few "Z"s around!

I would have to agree that the Camaros are all over the place (probably transformer fanatics . I think there are 2 other 370zs that I've seen tooling around in my neighborhood, and that's it - which is fine w/me!

There are a few 370Z's where I live. I do see a lot more mustangs, chargers, and camaro's, though.

I live near a military base in the south : /

Lots of 'vettes, porsche, ///M, and AMG cars, too, with a good many NSX's thrown in for fun.

Lots of turbo 350Z's though. We don't have any NA z's around here except the 370's. Even with the turbo, the 350's werent any faster than my stock LS1 car by any real margin. From what I saw from the 370 when I rode in and drove on, it is about like a cheap turbo install on a 350, stock.

I get angry when I see too many, so I kinda like it the way it is. Although here in Los Angeles, I see more and more every week. 90% have been female.

In the time span of a year I have seen LITERALLY MAYBE 7 370z's. POSSIBLY. In fact I think it's closer to 5. Oh and that's not just my area I went to the Miami area in May and I saw one 370z.

I really like having the "exclusivity" of the 370z because there is maybe 2 more in my area and they're all stockers and not the same color as mine. It's nice having a car that isn't a part of the growing population of 42,012,381,405 mustangs. In all seriousness I see AT LEAST 20-30 mustangs on my normal commute. It's not scary it's pathetic.

Spotted a total of 6 coupes in a city of over a million people. One in May of 09 and then not another until a year later. I saw two earlier this month and two in the past two days...So far, one red, one graphite, one yellow, one black and two white but still no other airstream (brilliant silver for those below the 49th). Plus I have noticed 2 roadsters - one black cherry and one white.

Compare that to the hundreds of late model mustangs, camaros and challengers that I see everyday tells me that there are not many 370Z's around here and that is fine by me.

as long as nissan sells enough to stay happy with sales results i have no problem. but i only see 2 or 3 a week in an area with about 135,00 people.

there are two big nissan dealership here and they keep about 4 each on there lots. i guess most are kept in the garage.

I live in an area of 100k and I see two now and then. I have had several people come up to me and ask what kind of car is that? Most people have no idea it's a Nissan, it doesn't look like any other car on the road. I hope the 370 stays rare not like all the vettes, stangs and camaros I see every day it would drive me nuts to have a car everyone else has.

In over a year I have only seen 1 370 nismo and 1 370 on my way to work (23 miles each way). 350's are everywhere, but for whatever reason you never see 370's around here. Even though I live in a small city, the roads are absolutely packed during business hours, and tons of out of town beach traffic so don't start with the middle of nowhere comments lol.
