When I was shopping it it seemed to get that a lot. Never once heard "badass" or anything used to describe it. Then again, I live in the south. Demographics and all that work against 2-seat sports cars of any type.

Geez, the last time I was in the south all I heard was stuff like: "squeal, boy!" and "you got a purdy mouth".

I've heard "exotic" or "cool", but never "badass" about the Z.

Usually "badass" is reserved for domestic muscle, though. I haven't heard too many german cars called "badass"

My girlfriend's 12 year old sister was explaining my Z to her parents. She said, "It looks like a million dollar car!!!" I got a laugh out of that.

I haven't gotten the "cute" thing yet, although I've heard that several times about the 350Z, which is more curvy and less brutish than the 370. IMO the sharp angle at the top of the windshield makes the Z34 transcend above "cute", although it may not be considered "badass" either.

Some stranger on the sidewalk called my car a "Ferrari"...

I have no idea how to reply to that statement Shado. I'm actually scared to come up with a statement with words like "Z drivers" and "metrosexual tendencies" in the same sentence. so I will bow out with style.
