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

danelonson · 09-22-2012, 10:56 AM

I used to own a 2005 WRX STI before the Z and the same day I got the car I quickly noticed something that I was not used to with a car, that as soon as someone else with a WRX (regardless of year) would see me they would beep and wave. In the 7 years I had this car not once did I pass by a WRX and they wouldn't acknowledge me. Many times I would be driving and hear a beep and as I would look at my rearview mirrors sure enough it was a WRX driver that had passed me and would be sticking their hand out the window waving.

My question is, why don't 370Z drivers do the same? I understand that this car is not as rare as the WRX (at least in Miami) but you don't see them that often either. Is there a reason for this? I also have a sportbike and people wave at me all of the time regardless of what motorcycle they're riding.

Just wondering why not with the 370Z?

I may give a head nod or thumbs up once in a while, but i could careless about waving man.

I give thumbs up to the z drivers time to time and I receive the same on the road too. But seems like the Civic guys like to give me more love then anybody else on the road by revving up their v-techs.

I try to wave at all the Zs I see. I rarely get a wave back.

I try to wave to other 370Z's but I end up getting the evil eye and they drive off like nut jobs.

I Get more waves from 350z guys.

Same situation where I live. Only other Z's around here are usually beat to **** 350's. Only other Z I see and usually acknowledge on the road is the guy that owns this. Pretty cool dude.

I always wave at Z's, 240 on. I have even driven along side one 370 for 15 seconds honking until I got his attention, and a wave back.

kfull · 09-22-2012, 11:54 AM

I pulled up next to another 370 on the highway a few weeks ago...it was a couple in probably in their 50s, we simultaneously gave each other thumbs up, other 370s I've waved at or looked over to they pretended to not even see me. It's pretty hit or miss

If you have time to wave you are doing it wrong, leave waving to the jeep crowd.
