Do any 370Z drivers "wave" at each other?

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.
I got a lot more waves in my 77 280z. But I always try to wave on the highway. I get waves back from the sport drivers, less from the touring and base crowd. I think you are right, this car has appeal to more than just enthusiasts. I get the feeling that some people just don't realize what a cool, historied car they are driving.

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!
