A bike rack has no place on a 370. That's like an E92 M3 with a snowboard rack on it.

Ken you just make no sense... wiind drag, high cog? The Z isn't a sports car. Its a multi-purpose vehicle.

My wife's step-bro has a 350Z. You should see all the crap he carries around in the back of his car on a daily basis.

Here is the bike. I doubt it would change the COG of the car even if I was going to go with a roof rack. Not like I'd be racing around with a bike on the roof anyway.

All vehicles are multi-purpose. I use a motorcycle for commuting duty sometimes.

Hell, I've used this bicycle for commuting when I lived closer to work. A couple years ago I put more miles on that bike in one year than I did on my car.

My other bike.

In all fairness someone at my work has a bicycle rack for their motor bike. It looks absolutely ridiculous but it works I guess.
