i dont care if you drive a Z or a pinto. when you get a reaction like that from someone, you get a boost. despite age. The Z is just awesome. just.... just.... awesome...
DUDE!!!! That must've been the daughter of the girl that did it to me when I was driving my tricked out Pinto back in the 70's! I hope she was better looking than her Mom!

Damn i don't know where you guys live but in San Gabriel Valley of california, no one even cares about my Z lol. I think down here its all about m3's A5's, 335i's, S5's and above.

I get occasional looks but thats it, its never like OMG OMG i need to take a damn picture type of reaction.

*There aren't very many either, I hardly see any 370z's but 350's are everywhere*

Congratulations!
Not a fan of those rims but that is a beautiful ride, even though I am not a domestics guy.
Still respect engineering!
Enjoy and visit often!

I was all set to get a second 370 for a daily driver, but after test driving the 5.0, I found it was way more comfy than the Z. If I had to choose one or the other, I would probably pick the Z, but fortunately, I can have both.

has anyone had the pleasure of being behind a boss 302 I think everyone would agree that that is definitly a dedicated track car in its own right( live rear axle and all it and aparently stock mustangs with track pack can hang with the M3 thats respectable) I am in a dilema with what I want to buy in about a year looking at used gt500s, STis, 370z, and c5 vettes and even maybe a 5.0s

Well with all these new cars in the market, Nissan needs to step up there game on the Z division.

Turbo please or more power...

Heck Yeah! I say we skip straight to the 560Z by lengthening the hood a bit and drop that Titan 5.6L V8 in there and supercharge it!
