Things not to do to your Z

johnnydrama

I hate to burst everybodies bubble but 98% of americans consider our cars rice, modified or stock. Especially in my case with a nismo. I dunno how many times I've heard comments like this yelled at me... 2 fast 2 furious, body kits are gay, or nice fart cans. Point is most people don't know **** about cars and don't consider my car any different than the civic that just drove by with a $69 pepboys muffler on it. We all have different definitions of rice and I have mine but wont mention them bc some guys here choose to do so and that makes em happy. However I just believe that if im gonna put something on my car its gonna enhance performance in some way, except for my red gtr stop button.

This is my second "foreign car". Last car I owned was a 2007 Eclipse. Had it for about 8 months. Think I'll keep the Z much longer!
I have to say before I researched the 370Z, in my ignorance I thought the NISMO was some riced out car. After purchasing my Touring Z I can now appreciate the NISMO more, but I do see how the uninformed would think it was over the top.

The NISMO is a very polarizing car. I own a 370Z and when the salesman tried to show me a NISMO they had, I sort of just laughed and said, "No thanks. That car is a little bit much for my tastes."

That said, when I was buying my NISMO OEM exhaust from a guy with a black one (I was driving my work car), some kind of redneck lady at this small town in central VA pulled up to comment on how totally awesome his car was.

I've gotten almost universally positive reviews on my car. I was at a gas station sort of in hicksville Maryland next to a friend who has a really clean white 335i and some dude in a giant pickup truck came over to tell us how totally awesome our cars were. He said, "Man, you don't feel inadequate very often driving a $55k truck but these cars are putting it to shame."

The only consistently negative comments I get are about the size of the exhaust tips on the NISMO exhaust.
