Nissan 370Z Forum  

What's the WORST compliment you gotten about your Z ?

The Ferrari 458 italia is my favorite exotic. My Z looks nothing like it.

Your car looks expensive, I bet you paid over 100,000.00!

I actually had a guy in the Best Buy parking lot ask me if it was a new 240z. Seriously, man? (I was nice about and just corrected him)

After seeing one yesterday, I have to say the 13's look a lot better in person compared to the pictures. It was sitting next to a 12 (black 12 SP & white 13 SP)which made it easy to compare. Looks like they get the red lens for the fog light now & the driving lights don't look that bad. The grill is also not as thin looking as in the picture.
While I still prefer my 11, the 13's look nice as well.

Thanks Felix!!!

I understand 09 to 12 owners love their cars and it's a beautiful car. It just defies logic that changing the the little fang colors to make it match the grill and adding a couple LED's, plus making the rim color nicer (personal opinion) albeit a different design and adding red calipers. Make supposedly Z lovers on this forum say hate and ugly. It's 98% the same car!

Felix, I also agree with you, in person the 13 is nicer than the pics.

its part of just liking what you have, no one likes to admit something is nicer than what they have (even though inside their head they are jelly and want it )

but the 2013 is nice, it has grown on me since it came out but just like the 09-12 design better.



back on topic:

worst compliments hmm:

Mcdonalds drive thru girl : Is that a Ford?

Random guy at Advance: Nice 350z heres a flyer for a car show

Random guy at Z meet: Wow I didn't know these come twin turboed

Random guy at subway; So thats the new one ehh...what is it? its nice

Worst and most face-palm compliment was when another car enthusiast said "Thats a 370z not a fairlady" and called me a ricer for rebadging my car

So this morning I was driving home from work and was waiting on a red light, next to me was a school bus (the short kind, not the regular one). The light changed and I just accelerated like normal, shifting at 3k rpm like I usually do, and i look over and the bus driver is doing everything he can to try and get ahead of me. (I did notice that the bus was empty since school is still out for sumer here). The only thing I could think of was is going on. he stayed next to me all the way until i got to 50 mph (five over the limit). Then again, on second though maybe he was just trying to get a good look at the Z.
