Some Z guys don't respect other Z guys

red6spd · 07-20-2011, 11:11 AM

This has been covered several times before. I almost never get a wave or complement from 350 guys (dont see many older Z's in my area) I almost always wave at the 350 guys, and I usally end up looking like a dork waving at no one or I get the cold shoulder. But while sitting at Buffalo Wild Wings one night with my girl a waiter noticed my Z hat I was wearing and started showing me millions of pictures of his 350 on his cell phone, it was pretty cool.

Use the flasher's that's what I do, I seem to get more of a response from that. That's pretty cool though that he should you some pics of his car.

I agree with the 350z guys. They hate us for having a newer model z or something. I wave and I get no redponse. Well at least at our weekly meet the 350 guys r very very cool peeps.

It's funny, I am still in the locating/purchase mode of a 370Z and I throw respect to any Z owner I come across... Jville, NC has way too many Z's owned by people who don't respect the heritage though. I hear all the time "it's just a car" or "I liked the look so I bough it". Pretty sad.

Ya Jville is a whole other animal. I've gone to CPD twice, saw 2 Z owners but just got the stink eye the whole time I was there. When I was parked and had the hood up to cool the engine off a couple people walked by and looked around and they seemed pretty excited to see my car in person. My buddies on the fence said they could hear people asking what kind of car is that. True but remember the first stepping stone to any relationship with car or woman is physical attraction.

Agreed. I especially don't wave to the lower class 350z

Kidding, I'll show respect to anybody who takes care of and appreciates their car.

Older Z guys are cool
People that drive older Zs are cool (280/300/ect)
350Z owners are douches
370Z owners are cool

That's just from experience... I guess it doesn't apply to everyone.

Do you really need someone to wave at you to validate your car choice?
