My Z gets mostly love. I don't get a lot of people insulting her, and when they do, I usually tune them out anyway.

Two friends of mine (both Mustang drivers) insist on telling me all the time that my Z sounds like a weed whacker... And then they try to pass me and i cut their grass ;-)

But seriously, 99.99999% of the time its jealousy. I never get **** talked by the guys that have nicer cars than me... Just saying

:iagree:

it usually is jealousy, i had a guy driving a 350z try to s**t talk me.

I'll tell you a good one, but it happened in a GTR.

I was going to a Playoff game for the cards, had to grab some cash so I stopped by my local BOA and pulled up next to the ATM. I was not the drive through ATM , but one on the side of the building. So I jumped out real quick and left the door open on the GTR. A 1998-2001 Miata Driver pulls up behind the car. Starts looking around it, and asks if it's a Mustang. :faceplate: , I politely said no it's a Nissan. So he asks if he can look inside, I said sure, have at it... while I'm still trying to get my cash out of the ATM, I hear, it's a shame you bought an automatic. I just shook my head and tried to explain the dual clutch system, but I think I blew his miata mind. O_o

God what an idiot. What he should have been is shocked that one Gtr is the value of like 5 brand new fagiata's.

New employee here at work, is a "car guy", but hes into old American muscle, after a few weeks he caught a whiff that i had a 'nice car' and jumped out of his seat asking "whacha got i wanna see", he sees the Nismo says "oh is that a 280" and seemed disappointed. Then he walks away and is like "we call those rice burners". Kindof pissed me off :shakes head:

I've honestly never been insulted. Some people on facebook have said I have a ricer car, but everyone I know personally has nothing but nice things to say about it.

I know people with Camaro SS, Mustang boss's, EvoX's, Lancers, etc... All of them respect the car and it's heritage.

I get asked on the road all the time what it is, and half the time they say how good it looks. One guy called it a japanese pocket rocket, but I didn't find it all that offensive as I think he meant it in a good way.

Females especially, they LOVE this car. I don't know what it is, but girls love this car. I get so many compliments on the car from them.

But yea, I don't get what you guys get at all :/ almost makes me feel left out. But then again, people in Madison aren't douche bags like other cities in America.

You shouldn't be upset, it is obvious that guy wasn't a car guy. He is only a "muscle car guy", which is a narrow perspective IMHO.

Everyone has their favorites, but a car guy is someone who appreciates all cars and what they can do. Too many interesting cars out there to keep it to one type.

too low......
 

I was told your car's too low, it's not practical. I've seen 'em lower is all I'd say. Other than that, I've had nothing but praise from all ages.

Mostly make jaws drop in the z. But the one thing I can't stand is "nice 350" it looks nothing like the 350 to me. Oh and the typical how rice you burning comments...

Gotta love haters though, they make the world go round.

"That's a car a rich man buys for his wife"

My response: I like rich women!

Dang lot attendant at work knows my car is a 370, he sees it all the time, and I did have a 350, but every time we talk he asks me about my 350, but in reference to my 370...grrr.

I was getting D&D and the guy in the drive through said to me as he was handingk me my coffe "who's makes the car? It's too small!

I wasn't insulted but thought it was funny.

Other than that its been all compliments. Actually had a guy wait by my car until I came out of the store just ask what year Z was it

Just as I thought a classic example of pure "Muscle with with no Brain"

My wife sent me a care package and included a car audio magazine with a 350z on the cover. I asked her why she sent me a car audio magazine when you know im not really an audio guy. She said she just looked at the cover and saw my car...:shakes head: So I asked her how her Tiburon is holding up (she drives a genesis Coupe)

Most people at the place I work really like my car, but everyone says it's tiny (the car).


it's larger than my 240, my morgan, and my motorcycle.

somebody called it a FORD. I was insulted. Well not really. I said good try, its a Z mofo!! :roflpuke2:

Thats like one of those cars from the movie twilight

This happens every time with my best friend haha. He really likes it though. I used to have a 350 tho...

Yup, I participated in a charity car show and poker run this past Saturday. I and a guy with a race ready Miata had the only foreign cars.This old dude comes buy and looks at my engine and says "nice lawnmower." I ignored him at first and then he repeated his statement. I said yep, it will do a number on your lawn and set your hair on fire at the same time. He walked away shaking his head. Dumb A$$!!!

As a proud Corvette owner who's considering a 370 Vert as a DD, I for one will NEVER understand the whole "why did you buy Jap Crap?" people. First off other than a Corvette and a Viper what REAL sports car is made here.... A Solstice...( GF has one and for her it's ok but) a Sky.... Not too bad but lets face it...it's a Solstice with of beer muscles? They don't make either one anymore. I have never liked Fords and have no interest in Joe Dirt Camaro's. And I'm willing to bet 95% of the people that make that stupid comment about "ricers" have NEVER owned a Corvette or a Viper.... I'll always be a Vette guy... but I have no issue with the 370z's at all. I will admit I had no interest in any of the other Z's other than when I was a kid and the 240's came up but it was because I didn't like the look of the car NOT where it came from and WHO made it. Too much of that nonsense in this country going on for my liking. Drive with pride!

i've had the "shoulda got american muscle" comments from a couple 4.6 gt mustang owners. i reply, "wouldn't that be embarrassing to have your american muscle smoked by my z?"

All that flag waving stuff makes me break out in a rash....... But thanks for the heads up. I keep an eye out for the Mustang boys ....My Vette eats them for breakfast and then goes and Kisses their Girlfriends on the mouth.

I get the whole "350z" thing, gets pretty annoying.

Had a guy with an Evo comment on how "slooooooooooowwww" the Z was. I didn't want to get into it, but I was thinking "Well, not everyone wants a car with a cheap@ss toy plastic interior."

Usually the people who insult your car aren't real car people.

Mcdonalds drive though, had my top down. Guys was like nice "Sky" I was like WTF....so stunned that I didn't know what to say to him.

You drive a poor man's sports car.

I would have simply driven off and leave the bag of burgers and fries in their hands to deal with.

We sorta do. Although most American sports cars are also poor mans sports cars :P

Should have told him no, it burns 93 octane and goes like a bat outta hell. And I don't even need to all lead additive!

I've never seen a poor man driving a $35K to $43K car.

I think that poor man line is a load O' crap. The poor people I know are at bus stops or on bikes.

I've wondered if the ECU compensates for this or not. Admittedly I don't know a whole lot about it.

I put 93 in my car but I wonder if it does anything at all except make me run richer...

I don't know, but I'm not gonna take any chances. I know that premium fuel is way up in price though, especially here in Chicago. (highest in the country)

Was at Advance Auto gettin' some cleanin' products and the guys in the store thought it was " One of those new Porsches " :shakes head:

"I didn't take you for one of those Guido Douche bags." :mad:

"A true sports car shouldn't be an Automatic." :shakes head:


kinda a complement coming from a jerk who makes 3x more than me
"How can you even afford that thing, I cant even buy a sports car" :p

"Your car is a Porsche wanna-be."

Tell that person to try to buy a new Lambo without an automatic.

All depends on how you want to live. I've seen pizza guys in 5 series.

I gotta quit reading this thread... it has rustled my jimmies

The funniest insult i got was...

"Your Z ain't shyt compared to my Mustang 4.6"................. lol
