haha. i hope that the same doesn't happen to the porsche owners.
imagine you spent the big bucks to get a porsche to have some person come up and compliment on how nice your nissan looks

jaedub · 03-06-2011, 06:19 PM

I get that countless times. But half the people correct themselves. Other half, I correct them or I just dont care. Im sure they know what the car is (knowing its not 350) but they just fail to say the name correctly cuz they're used to 350's

sonic370 · 03-06-2011, 06:30 PM

iv'e gotten that a couple of times but i just let it go... to be honest imo the cars
at the right angle can be hard to tell apart.. just as the c-5 vettes were.
you had to really know your stuff to tell them apart.

I don't get mad when normal people call it a 350z. I owned one and I thought it was great. I don't like when the service department at the Nissan dealership calls my car a 350z. That makes me worry.

I think you may need to find a new dealership to get your car serviced, one that knows what car they're working on...

i think for a lot of people that don't know anything about the history of the car, the 350z is the car they are most familiar with. So when we say 'Z' to talk about Z cars in general, they say 350z. obviously its wrong, but i think thats what they mean.

Yeah, I see what you're saying, but I feel like the one place that should get it right is the one working on/fixing it and also the one that sold it to you in the first place.

I had a guy with a 350 ask me where i got my custom headlights from, tell him they're stock, and he just gave me the "he knows better" and i let him be a dumbass

toxik · 03-06-2011, 08:42 PM

I heard having you car be called a 350 immediately makes you lose 2-3 inches below and therefore requires an immediate correction to make sure they know you're carrying a full footlong down there.

Jeffblue · 03-06-2011, 08:43 PM

i usually feel like i sound like a **** if i correct someone by saying i have a 370z.

gaveup · 03-09-2011, 10:06 AM

I have had a few people say nice 350Z and I don't act like a jerk about it, but it does bother me. I really didn't care for the 350Z's much. There was something about them I just didn't like looks wise, and that was all fixed with the 370Z.

Some people just don't know cars well enough to tell the difference. I guess having black might just make it harder as well?

Some older guys mistakened my car for a Porsche.
