Do you think the 370Z is a future classic?

I don't think so.

It is a great car, and I LOVE everything about mine... but it's just not ground breaking enough. It is NOT a car that everyone is talking about.

It isn't going to be though of like the BRZ/FRS or even the GTR.

Sure it has Synchro-rev match, but it's not hugely popular... not to mention that it's the ONLY car it has ever been offered on. Remember when S2000 owners used to rave about their 120hp per liter? Exactly.

Thread Bump. I wanted to let you all know that our car will much indeed become a classic. Almost every single day I drive around, I have random people come up to me and ask me things about my car. They also leave quite a few good comments in the conversation.

Put it this way, Ford produced more than double the amount of 2013 Mustangs on the street than the production years (2009-2013) 370z.

If you don't believe me, sell your 370z and buy the stang, maro, or brz/frs. We will see who is laughing in another 20 years.

You make a solid case USAF Control, however, i think that it will take more than 20 years for the 370 to be considered a classic. I just hope to be around and owning my Z by then...

Um ... obviously Chevrolet thinks syncro-rev matching is a good idea. It's in the Corvette. It is one of the primary reasons I went with the Z. I was contemplating Camaro/Mustang when I bought the Z. The Z does look much better than either of those as well. It'll be a classic.

One of the problems it will face is the haters in the car rag community. They had an off track experience with badly failed brakes and that was it for the Z as far as most of them seem to be concerned. I have to wonder what happened between Nissan and the car rag folk when that happened because after that story, coverage just dried up. Before that story the car rags were all aglow about the Z. However, we are now seeing stories emerge that speak of used 370Z's as an inexpensive speed and handling bargain.

So who knows. I voted yes. Cuz I have one and it looks and drives like I want a sports car to look and drive. And it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to own it.
