Brilliant Silver here..
Let's see, went to a movie with my gf... came out and walking back to the car we see an older guy standing next to the Z staring at it.. He asks a lot of questions and called it a "beautiful car".. I'm down with that ![]() Went to Barnes and Noble (bookstore) and same thing, we're walking back to the car and an older guy standing behind it staring it down.. He talks about the 280Z he used to own back in the day.. very nice guy.. then points over to his C4 vette and says after seeing the new Z, that he's got to go test drive one. Plenty of people breaking necks on the street looking at the car while driving around.. I've never had this much attention in a car i've ever owned.. the WRX never got any looks as people thought it was just a regular 4 door sedan. And when I pump gas the other people nearby pumping gas **** their heads looking at it as well. Lol. |

I get looks every day.
Have had people ask me questions at stop lights, a lot of "nice car, sir!" comments from young kids, etc. One of the most fun was at a light with an orange Murcielago and gray V12 Vantage... both of them were checking the Z out as I was drooling over theirs!!!

This one was kind of funny so I snapped a quick pic. I parked on the far outskirts of the local Walmart parking lot and when I came back out I realized my Z had company...

Drove the 370z to the Honda dealership to pick up my wife. The Accord needed an oil change and O2 sensor. Went inside and when I came back out there were several Honda techs and mechanics checking it out. Told'em I wasn't there for a trade in.

I get stares, thumbs up, and whatnot all day long. I love it.
I fear the day it's "just another Z" like the 350. Until then, I am going to eat up all the attention. Especially the way my car looks/sounds right now.

1. Fellow Z driver gave me the metal horns.
2. GT-R flyby on interstate 3. Middle age woman at stoplight : " Yo go boy!" 4. Little kid : " Whoa! look at that car" 5. Countless stares, questions and waves The coolest thing I think is all of the fellow Z owners and the "wave" of mutual agreement as we meet each other on the roads.

I have gotten the same stares and waves but this morning I was driving through a construction zone when the guy holding up the slow/stop sign saw my car approaching so he waited till everyone else passed and threw up the stop just so he could come and ask me about the car. We ended up holding up traffic and he had to let me go but that was the craziest one so far.

- There have definitely been a number of stares.
- Had two different guys pull up next to me in their cars and compliment the ride - walked out of best buy and found two guys admiring the car and asked me a few questions when I walked up. I couldn't help but have a big cheesy smile on my face when they asked if the car was mine. |

Here in San Diego there's a lot of ricers. They like to drive next to me and check out my car. Most of the time I think they're scared to go up againts it LOL!
- gas station attendant say "Beautiful car"! - random people always checking out the Z - mustang drivers for some reason stare a lot. Haven't really seen another 370 except for nizz's car (the silver one all stripped)

I just pulled out of the parking lot at the dealership and only went a block and had some guy yell at me and ask me what kind of car it was and gave a thumbs up

Don't even have to leave the dealership. I was getting props from the guys in service before I even left the lot, even today when I went back for my free oil change.
