Who compliments your Z?

I think my neighbor (he has a Boxster) said something to the effect of, "those are really big brakes."

I've gotten complements on my NISMO from people of all races, age groups, and genders. The first day I brought it to work, I pulled up to a stop sign on my way home... Some hot chicks all dressed up for a night out were walking by, and one yelled, "Hey! Nice car!" First time that's ever happened to me. I've had complements on other vehicles I've owned (my Xterra and my Tiburon) but always from adult men (on the Xterra), sometimes also from kids (again mostly boys) on the Tib.

Now, I'm an odd sort of guy... sometimes I like to take my fast Z and drive about 60 up the middle lane (never the left lane) of Rt. 3 (speed limit is 55, but most drive about 70). Naturally I'll have a steady stream of cars passing me on both sides. It amuses me to watch people's expressions change as they pass me! Starting off, I get the disdainful frown for driving like a jackass, which changes to approval/awe as they get a closer look. Very satisfying.

What's most interesting about that is seeing all the middle-aged and even older women craning to get a better look... Never expected that!

I will admit over the past couple of months iv'e gotten more comments than normal,really can't say why. All ages and race. Just this morning some older guy meaning in his late sixties while i was at the gas station ask me "what do you got in there a v6 or v8!!! He was driving a dodge ram truck.

same old question how fast will it go. it seems like most people think we buy these cars to drive them 140 all the time.

for better or worse these cars do attract attention...........

I have a bunch of middle and high school kids in my neighborhood. They are always stopping and talking to me about the car. It's kind of fun when I drive down the street and they all stop to watch.

i think someone will make large dressup brake caliper covers that goes all around the inside of the wheel to show who's boss.

I've gotten more compliments on this car in the last 2 months than i've had on ANY of my previous cars. No certain age range or race... pretty much everybody. I get a handful of stares every time i leave the house and at least a few people a week verbally complimenting on it. Makes me feel all warm and tingly inside

Ive never had a woman comment on mine (maybe cuz they expect a guy to be driving?)...but the car always gets looks & comments from white men - of all ages..kids will always turn all the way around & point. That will NEVER get old. love it!

I park my Z dead front of my restaurant and every middle aged, and some 50+, that comes in compliment my car. I offer them free drinks to those who compliments my Z. lol.

This one time I was at my church with bunch of my friends (mostly girls) and all of a sudden one of the church member (some jealous d-bag) comes up to me and says he doesnt like my 370z.....(obviously trying to look cool to insult my Z infront of everyone) I asked him what was wrong with it, and he just said "i dunno, I just dont like it". And I just simply said "yeah, but better than driving a volvo right? (he owned some POS volvo)

Jeffblue

rule: don't insult someone else's car unless yours is better in at least some concievable way.

maybe he thinks his volvo's 5 cylinder motor is the $hit...

When you have a car that has been in production for 40 years you are undoubtedly going to get a lot of people between the ages of 40 and 70 who owned some version of the Z in the past and have fond, nostalgic memories of it. I get a lot of compliments from soccer moms and teenagers. There's a MILF in my neighborhood with a Miata who gives me a big smile every time we pass, so never used to when I had my G35 even though that car got a lot of compliments as well. When I first got my 370Z a bunch of the engineers I work with all made me go out to the parking lot and pop the hood. Not that there is a lot to see on a modern car engine, but we were all standing around like old time car geeks looking under the hood which was kind of cool.
