An avid SoloII participant or someone who likes to track their car might disagree.

Unless one wants to invest in a truck and trailer (not exactly cheep); many who autocross and/or track their car like the option of pulling a small trailer behind their sports car to carry a couple of sets of tires, tools, etc. that simply can't be carried in a sports car (like the Z).

I would say an avid bicyclist would have a similar opinion.

Problem is, as far as I know, no one (Nissan included) developed a good hitch set-up for the 350 and I doubt they will for the 370 either.

The back of the Z might be roomy enough, with the front tire removed, to handle a full-sized bicycle but I'm really not sure...I will admit that the Z is not the best choice of vehicles for those who want to carry a bike and I'd be very cautions about outside carriers that "hook" to the bodywork/rear hatch.

Thanks for the replies.

As I said in my first post, I don't want a rooftop rack.

I agree that I don't want any rack that comes into contact with the paint.

If there's no hitch, the Z really isn't an option for carrying a bike (IMO). I doubt a bike, even with the wheels removed, would fit under the hatch.

And, no, a folding bicycle is not a real bicycle. Not an option.
