Me too. Just got home from manhattan. And as of now it is raining dogs and cats ugh. Anyways. Lets meet guys. There's a new meet in jersey every Thursday. It's in edgewaters. 5min from the city.

That's exactly what I'm saying. That I think people didn't get it. They kept on saying "it's cold, we just got hit by sandy..." Blah blah.
But all the way from may until now (which we had a pretty hot summer) I haven't seen many Z's. maybe 2-3 70s and a few 50s. And that's counting the car meets and events I've been as well. (As I mentioned before)
But like a few people said (which I didn't know) 370s weren't produced as much as 350s. So it all make sense.
I love to have a rare car. But I also love to see people with it as well from time to time.

there are way too many Z's around where I live. 2-3 more within a 30 mile radius is too much.

I wish I had the only one in the province.

oh well at least mine is the sexiest.

There are Z's all over the place here. =] A lot more 350s than 370s tho.

i take great pride in knowing that my Z is a rarity. a select few, a privilege to see on the road. if you want to meet up with other Z's around your area, check out regional section of the forum :tiphat:

:iagree: I find pride knowing that owning a Z only caters to select few. Which means it will hold its value in the long run.

I see a lot of Muscle cars around here...Hey Im in the USA right?.

Did you finally get yours?

350Z US sales per year...

2002 13,253
2003 36,728
2004 30,690
2005 27,278
2006 24,635
2007 18,957
2008 10,337

As you can see, in it's heyday the 350Z sold about 3X as many cars as the 370Z ever has. This is due to a lot of factors but mainly the recession hitting. The recession of 2001 was ending when the 350Z came out so slaes were booming again and sports cars were hot. I think I've heard a figure of somewhere around 250,000 world wide sales total for the 350Z.

I left for Fort Benning Ga. last Thursday to see my son graduate from his A.I.T. and traveled through 3 states to and from and I seen 3 350Z's 1 other 370Z and 2 300ZX's

I DID see about 500 BMW's 300 Camaro's and 250 Mazda RX 8's :shakes head:

So like Zoren 370 stated and I quote : " I find pride knowing that owning a Z only caters to select few. " :happydance:

Couldn't agree more.

i know of only two 370's around where i live, one of which belongs to a member on here and which is Twin Turbo'ed.

i see more porsche GT3's and regular porsche's than i do 370s round here, and for that, makes me lift my head a little higher and knowing the fact that i paid less than those porsche guys did AND i see maybe one 370 every 6 months if that. :tup:

everytime i take it out, the looks and stares, Smiles and Thumbs up, Stories from people whom drove their old 240-280z's and how they wished they still had the car....all i get is unmatched compared to the "regular sights" sports cars. and that to me is worth more than say a 90k porsche lol :tup:

Ya it's to bad the 370z is slower than a gt mustang on the track, Nissan needs to step their game up or else yes the z will be a dying breed

Actually it's more like the opposite. Poor sales numbers does not equal exclusivity by any means. It's not like the Z is some rare exclusive supercar or something. I'm not hating on the Z, I have one and I love it. It's just the truth.

I agree with this, but it doesn't look like it will happen from the last rumors I've heard for the next gen Z. It will be smaller and lighter, but also come with a 4 cyl turbo to compete with the FRS/BRZ. Of course those are still rumors and nothing has been confirmed yet. Would be sad to see the Z step down in competition, but it would definitely boost sales numbers.

I see a lot of 350z's everywhere, I've only seen a few 370z's around my area which I'm completely fine with. One of my friends is trying to convince me to sell my Z and buy his Mustang GT 5.0, but I see mustangs everywhere. I like being one of the nicest, and more rare, imports going to the car shows.

There are 2 other 370s in my area of north Idaho. Mine is parked for the winter. :shakes head: I love the fact I hardly see any others on the road.:tup:

I really can't see the Z going to 4 cylinder. The Z heritage is 6 cylinder and changing to a 4 would just kill it for most of the Z fans. Smaller car and if you had to drop engine size, smaller 6. The SX is the 4 banger platform.

I'm all for having a non turbo Z and a TT Z model again. It can play in two different market segments. The GTR can keep the throne, as most people buy the Z for it's purity, not because it has cool electronic computers driving the car for you. Or... toss in that VK56VD and bump it up to 450hp, make it a real Nismo. If your gonna compete, might as well compete with the right motor. Comparable to the new Vettes, and would blow the doors off anything else in it's price range. It'd be worth the 50-55k it would cost.

Okay, finally escaped my dream....Into reality, Twin superchargers :leghump:
In 9 months I'll be like :driving: :vuvuzela:

Not dying, but I don't see them often around here, which I also like. Definitely more a luxury to have a 2 seater here with out bad winters.

Its funny, I've heard about that issue in NY too, my cousin had a Z for awhile...said some guys were just too lazy to travel or put effort in.

Put it this way, at local meets here...our VQ club usually steals the show with clean G's & Z's and the Z then takes the spotlight overall...especially as we'll be 2-3 370's,

:iagree:

x10 and seeing as some people have never experienced the thrill of a Z i feel they are sadly missing out.Maybe they can Buy something equivalent, you know a genesis or something. :rofl2:

... After all, I believe all you guys were right
So I came back from my trip and...
Amsterdam I saw 1 350z.
Miami. In 1 day I literally saw over 7 350z out there. Crazy. It felt like every 3 blocks they had one. Muscle cars and Porsches ? Pssshhh. I lost count how many times I seem them.
370z ? None.
I carry a lot pride to be the one of a few to have it heck yes I do. But as I mentioned, I just wish I knew at least 2 people that had it just so we could roll together to meets and drive around sometimes. That's all.
I see more Lamborghini and Ferrari than 370z. Incredible.
Anyways, I guess it is my location that it is dead with the Z scene.
Either way. For anyone around NYC and NJ there's meets tonight and tomorrow if you guys interested. . . Thank you for everyone's input in this thread.

I live in the puckerbrush. I never see any "Z's", which is just the way I like it. I also have a 2011 STI sedan. In 2 years I've seen exactly 1 other one and that was in Pennsylvania. They aren't disappearing, they are just appealing to a select few. Like us! RP

What's a Z?

dam bro you mean THE amsterdam? You know whats legal there. Or I could just go to Colorado.:stirthepot::D

LMFAO. I certainly know. And they have some stuff that even Cali haven't seen yet lol.

Wordd! I hear that.:tup:

I drive my '09 370z m-f for 2 hours back and forth to work each day and rarely if ever see a Z. Much of my drive is in a well populated (city) area also. That's ok with me...makes it even more special :)

i feel the Z crowd is with the older Z32 and Z33

at the local univeristy meets, there are like 5 Z32s but only 1 Z34(me), plus i dont see very many Z34 out on the roads, lots of Z33 though

there was one other z34 at the meet but i havent seen him there for a while

As do I. Their is a Ferrari dealership in town so this helps, but come on, the Z is a $40,000 car dang it.

I also feel we are part of a dying breed as well, especially if driving the car the way it was meant to be driven is a consideration.

I'm wintering on the Gulf coast of Florida (Naples/Marco Island). Every other car here is a Mercedes, Lexus, Porsche, BMW etc. and every tenth car is Lambroghini (pardon misspelling) or Maserati or other super exotic model (even saw my first Tesla sports car the other day). Darn few Z's though. Really, just one every now and then.

saw 4 370z on my way from atlanta to ft bragg, nc on Sunday...

Where in CT are you from, around my parts you see a few, more in the summer time, but you can spot a few of them out of their covers and on the road in the winter/fall. :tiphat:

I've seen four just today riding around doing errands. One black Nismo, a yellow one, and two base silvers. I find I'm seeing more and more lately around Kenner/Metairie.

See several 350's in my travels. Very few 370's.
