I blame that mostly on advertising, or the lack thereof. Most of the people I know who picked Mustangs over the Z did it because the car is "faster" and "costs the same". They are also more track ready and have greater tuning potential. But I love my Z. Don't get me wrong. I just don't value the rarity of the thing. I like other Z owners. I wish there were more.

What we are toasting to the fact that the Z is an exceptionally beautiful car that can holds it own against other far more expensive/exotic cars. ![]() IMO all American/German cars a dime a dozen in the US. The Japaneses flooded the low end market with "cheaper" cars but despite that the "Z" still holds a certain elite status here & abroad.. Quote:

![]() Well, those specific limitations effect the track-ability of the car. In stock form, it is rather dangerous to take to a race track. And while that may not be a concern for many performance car buyers, it certainly is an issue to some. I'm getting ready to track my car. I've addressed the braking issues and oil heating issues as best I can. I'm hoping not to run into fuel starve on my first time out. |

I'd probably like it better if the Z were rare due to deliberately low production numbers or something like that. But they're "rare" due to low sales numbers.
But there are a lot around the DC area. Not as common as cat turds Mustangs, but I still see them around quite often. Last edited by shadoquad; 04-08-2012 at 11:30 PM. |

im all for community growth, no doubt. its just really nice not to see 50 cars per day identical to the one you drive. so tired of seeing new mustangs, and i dont even drive one. i can imagine it is frustrating or bothersome for mustang owners. or maybe its not at all, everyone is different i guess.

Agreed... I get annoyed driving down the road and within a 10 mile stretch, I've already seen several Mustangs, Camaros, Chargers and Challengers... I remember when American muscle cars were really something to behold.. now they're just a dime a dozen.

If you enjoy that about the Z, that's cool. I'm the opposite. I like seeing other Z's, giving Z waves. But I can also understand that seeing them on every corner would make them less special.
And even the GT-R has gotten more face time than the 370z over the years in magazines. Last edited by shadoquad; 04-09-2012 at 08:25 AM. |

I went out both Saturday and Sunday this past easter weekend. I put about 100 miles on my girl total, saw 3 370Z's total (2 base, 1 Nismo), and 5 350Z's. There were a bunch of mustangs, corvettes, and camaro's. Also, saw 1 exotic, a Porsche 911 Turbo S. I even had a nice run on the beltway with a newer Mustang GT (I'm still under break in so no way i'm abusing my girl, kept her under 4K in each gear) the driver was really cool we both gave each other props on our rides. A great weekend too because not too many Jumpout boys were out for the easter weekend, there truly is no other car for me but my Z.

i am fired up to go to a meet one day. partially because its lonesome being the only Z around lol. but seriously, i love seeing all the custom work and look forward to hanging out with other people who are crazy about the Z badge, most of them way more knowledgable about these cars than i am. i have no fellow Z drivers to wave to

Back in 2003 when the 350z first came out I was one of the first to get my hands on one,it was a rare sight to see one,after a few years with depreciation it was not as rare...same with the 370z,with the model on its 3rd year,I have not seen more then 5 in 3 years and I live in a city with more then 500K people...i dont get mine till thursday however i love the fact that not many people have the same car
