Yea I generally wave at Zs in general, and always at 370s.. Although women don't seem to understand this custom. They're the ones I get strange looks from

Only z's in my area are 350 not 370 and I try to wave but i could careless if they wave back. I get more thumbs up and people breaking their necks than waves. That's all that matters.

Mostly dentists, family doctors, and CPAs drive them around here. I dont think they are enthusiasts, they just like the look of the car. Seeing a young guy like me driving one, I dont think they really care to wave. They just think Im some punk kid driving a sports car.
WRXs, EVOs, are a totally different club cause people go out of their way to buy one of those. It's like when I used to drive toyota tacomas.. everyone just drove it no one ever waved. Wasnt until I bought an FJ cruiser that I would see other cruisers wave. It just having that one off car that only a select few find really attractive. The FJ was like the fat girl at the prom with the pretty eyes. |

I wave if I'm waved at first. However that being said the car gets way more attention from drivers of other kinds of cars especially those Honda guys lol
The older mustang guys are douches and don't like the foreign stuff but the younger mustang guys understand power to weight ratios and are intimidated when they here my exhaust , they know she ain't stock lol..... I like hunting for Mustangs and those Hyundais I'm 51 years old by the way and love my Z !!!!!! I'll chat up Z drivers at red lights like a " hey nice car " usually gets a "yours too" in return. You know We drive really cool and sexy cars, they go like stink , the poor mans Porshe lol, fun platform to improve on with mods, I'm sure we all love our cars so do like the ******* song and "smile & Wave " will ya !!!! Don't be a Z Douche..... Besides chicks really dig our cars too lmao

The WAVE or High Beam FLASH was once a very popular trend with the Z owners...especially the older ones. This trend does not seem to exist anymore with the 350Z and 370z owners unfortunately.
I always bump my high beams when passing another Z if I am in my car. You will normally get a response like a FLASH or wave back from either a long time Z owner, multiple generation Z owner or someone who has been in the community for a long time. |

More mods=>more chance of a waveback. It might be silly, but I don't bump my lights because I hear those bulbs don't like coming on and off alot.

This is 100% true in many cases. The history of the Z is just as interesting and colorful as any of that of a Ferrari or Porsche in my opinion. The history and car culture associated with the Z is why I work here at Z1 and why a Z was my first car....and why I now own 4 and always looking for more!

For me two times. First, my GF thumbs up another 350z and he nodded back. Second was when this Z was looking to pull out while other Jenks won't let him. When it was my turn I yielded for him and he pulled out in front of me, blinked his emergency light twice and drove on. I'd like to assume he was saying thanks. |
