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...........
