Fairlady Z is the name of the car in Japan. 370z is the name of the car in the US. I believe in Europe and other countries too. Not sure about that. From what i heard, US didnt want to sell the car named fairladyz because they thought that consumers would not drive around a car named fairlady. I got rid of my 370z and added fairladyz cause its a sexy name.

european Zs don't have that slippery mode/snow mode. first time I heard of the term. I know the GT-R has a snow button.

For the US market they call each model the "### Z" based on engine size. 300Z, 350Z, 370Z... you get it.

It'd be like if Ford sold the Mustang in America but called it the "460 GT" or "500 GT" in the rest of the world.
I don't care what they call the mustang here they can call it magic unicorn GT for all I care I want mustangs here
