Nissan 370Z Forum - What did you do with your Z today II

:iagree: Was thinking about starting a poll on who likes which better. As for me it's the Z. While the GTR has performance, it's just too big & too much like a Mustang to me. For the price, I could think of a few other cars I would much rather have.

:twocents: YMMV

:iagree: Cars like the GTR, Camaro, and Mustang are fine aggressive looking cars, but like I said to a lady friend of mine a few days ago, I prefer a car that has a good balance of aggressiveness and sexiness. That would certainly be the 370Z. It is more sexy than aggressive. You can also mod it to become more aggressive, but it still retains most of its sexiness. :stirthepot: With that said, to each their own, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and all that stuff. :p

However, I did find the Trans Am club to be all about who's faster than just enjoying their cars for what they are and each others company. Big egos over there. That is one of the reasons I like Z clubs better. It's not always about who is fastest. For some reason Trans Am / Camaro owners forget that. They do generally work on their own cars and they are proud of that fact. Vette owners... Nice people, generally older and many do not generally work on their own cars. The Z crowd you get a mix and that might be the reason the community is not so boisterous.

I own all of the above cars and like to think that I appreciate them all for their various benefits.

Morning guys happy April Fools Day. Mec I agree with you. I've owned TA's,Camaro's, Vette's and Z's. I can tell you the Vette owners actually do wave to each other when passing and it isn't as much how faster yours is than the other guy. Sorry Happy but if I ever get my ZL1 it will be faster than yours LOL Yours will be better looking though and has a great personallity :excited:

I appreciate it guys. I guess haters are just gonna hate. :) I have to think tho: straight line acceleration ain't everything! I got the twisties like nobody's business! :hello:

Good morning guys! 'Bout to get me my coffee on and mess around in the garage until the wifey gets up. :tup:

I have my foam gun that I use for light washes. I don't even have to touch the car. Gets it fairly clean and if it rains the next day it doesn't matter.

Talk to me about this "not even having to touch it business" (and no locker room innuendos intended here girls). Why do you not have to touch it? Are you using a forceful spray?

I've been looking at a few of the foam guns out there and thinking it would be a great way to get the Z prepped. I understand that not all shampoos are created equally when it comes to foam reproduction.

If the car is only slightly dirty the foam (if you let it work) will lift most of the dirt and you can wash it off. Usually I rinse the car, foam it, spray it off, foam it again, spray it off. Dry it with an electric leaf blower.

This won't get the car perfectly detailed clean, but if you want to get pollen and other light dirt off in between your full washes, this method works very well.

Oh that's just what I'm in need of w/ a blue car right now. Pollen season kicks my azz! Thanks Steve! :)

Ps. It was your Z's video clips..interior street driving, multiple tail of the dragon clips and one that was filmed outside as you pulled away while in a mall parking lot that I watched over and over trying to decide on the FI exhaust. I ultimately went with your setup! :tup:

Just my $.02.

Yeah figured as much ;) People like what they like.
