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 "

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.

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.

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.

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$$!!!

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

My response: I like rich women!

Dlm6568 · 02-05-2013, 09:39 PM

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

steve216 · 02-07-2013, 02:16 AM

Thats like one of those cars from the movie twilight

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!

edub370 · 02-07-2013, 02:58 PM

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.

bdavis89 · 02-07-2013, 03:38 PM

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.
