Hell, even rednecks in lifted Ford SVT trucks give me a thumbs-up when I do a driveby in the Z. I've had some nice cars (335i convertible, Mercedes SLK, etc.), but I've received waaay more compliments in the 370 than in all the other cars combined. I believe, and this is only a hunch, that a lot of ordinary working class folks out there, in other words, most people, respect a Z over a vehicle with snob appeal.
