Then I moved to Atlanta and every where I go I see 350Z especially black!!!! same mods!!! I would get pissed....SO, I upgraded to a 370z Black Roadster!!! Only one around here with that particular car and mods that I have. I have seen some black coupes here and there but thats it. Personally, I dont want something that everyone else has-but thats just me- AND thats what MODS are for right!!

So, I think I know where your going with your statement!!!!!
LOL man, I said the same thing when I purchased my Charger in 2006. It was badass then and now its every other car I see. It's nice to not see someone else driving your car every day, or even every week. Makes you feel like you're the only one driving one.

The only time I feel like this, is when I see a V6 Camaro/Mustang, or other vehicle where the performance version is clearly the ONLY choice I could possibly make.

Worse, when someone throws an exhaust on a lesser motored version of these cars.

However, option packages on the same car? Get outa here, especially when all of them have almost identical performance.

Very good point.

I bet you hit the nail on the head, guys should leave this to girls. Makes you sound like a bit ch lol

But you shouldn't ever think this way.

We will never be equal. Or be able to afford the same.

Whenever I see a z, only thing I do is try to find out who is driving it because I am curious.. (male, female, old, young, dog, cats)

It's a natural human emotion to be competitive. Just because the etiquette book says you should never think about this doesn't make it easy to do.

Hell, the Z sticks out like a model in a bathing suit. If you have 2 models in bathing suits next to each other(like the Z) Anyone who looks will instantly compare them naturally. So the whole populist argument of "everyone shouldn't think this way" isn't believable to me. If you don't compare your cars, you compare something else in the same way. so give me a break.

My response wasn't really directed to you, i just meant guys in general.

Maybe its just me but i never worry too much about others. I usually worry about what I have and be happy.

I should have just grabbed out a certain part because my comment appeared harsher than I wanted. It was just a sum of all people who didn't address the question of the thread.

The only time I feel superior is when I walk up to check out a Z in a parking lot and discover that it's equipped with an AT.
