Very true... I get more attention with my Roadster top down of course than I did with my 996 twin turbo :tup:

still stare at own my Z, all the time !

I was gonna say "the booger hanging from your nose"

I would have to agree with you. I live in San Diego too, and no one ever looks at my 2012 GM Z, and I'm a pretty ugly guy. In fact, if they see me coming they either close their eyes or look the other way.

If you must know :) I had toasted wheat -- "cored" with double tuna no cheese all veggies, no oil. Plain ol' fshwheat.

I'm also in SoCal. I've gotten many miata drivers give a thumbs up. Every FRS passes me to make sure I see him, then slows down and stays either right next to me or right in front in the next lane. Then theres the Bimmer drivers. The other day there was a new turbo 335 that tried his hardest to get me to race on the 60. He first did the ricer fly-by, and 3 times he slowed down next to me and down shifted to take off before he realized I wasn't gonna play.

Just washed me car yesterday the weather was nice. I went cruising around town and I swear I was getting stares from everyone. I have a red Nismo and it was so cool to have so many people stare at my ride. At one stop sign some guy pulled up with a modded Civic. His girl was all over my car so I looked at her and she gave me a smile, when the lights turned green he spun his wheels and took off, made me laugh

I get a lot more stares with my MKIV Supra than with my 370Z, I guess its just because you don't see many Supras.

Its because they see the Supra and go "2JZ... no sh1t" and know it will decimate all. After you overnight some parts from Japan.

After more than 3 years of ownership, my still showroom new red Z continues to draw stares and compliments when I drive it. In Western PA, these cars are still unusual, bordering on rare. I'm pleased and comfortable with it and enjoy answering peoples' questions about my Z.

I'll notice people glancing at it on the freeway and such, at least I think that's what they're doing. :icon17:

I don't see a ton here in Phoenix (lots of 350's though), but we don't seem to get as much attention as others say they are, which is good and bad. :tup:

I get stared at too in the Z. But then again i drive around in my bean-dip-flavored man thong, so Im a legend around here for being easy to look at...

:hello:
:worthless: :tup:

^^:rofl2:

Dude -- you have the same name as the lead singer/bass player from Rush. I am not kidding. This is indeed an interesting coincidence.

Nothing is more uncomfortable than pulling up next to an Audi R8.. jesus christ that car is sex... Had another one pull up across from me at a gas station a month before.. It's like I'm being haunted.

I get from stares to mid fingers. Every time I'm at a gas station or at a store, someone comes out or as they walk by, they have the "urgency" to say something. 99% of the times are nice complements. At the mall, I park so far away, not even cell phone coverage can reach my vehicle. So nobody has nothing to say out there. Sometimes as I drive around town, minding my business, there is a moron who wants to test my patience. I gladly pull over when possible and invite them to fight, by then they realize I have bigger "cojones" and decide to just keep on diving.
Talking about middle age and frustrated individuals. There has been a few in their "40ish or 50ish" years old drivers (mostly driving a minivan with 5 0r 6 kids screaming and yelling in the back seats) that give me the dirty look or the mid finger. WTF, what have I done? I smile at them and give them my mid finger, most of the times my finger is bigger than theirs. OUCH it hurts!!!!!

yea i've gotten the mid finger myself as well. I don't understand it... a pedestrian crossing the street in front of me just looked me right in the eye and gave me the birdy. envy causes strange reactions in people. What I don't get is the envy over a car... its just a car nothing special

Ironically, I got more stares from my Coupe then I do currently with my Roadster. I had the MB which stands out compared to my BC now.

So you get flipped off for driving a sports car? :icon14:... oookay

I haven't seen that many 370zs in Chicago, I've seen maybe 3 or 4 so my car gets a ton of stares too. I just can't wait for spring and summer so I can drive all over lakeshore drive.

Yes I have. I don't think about it no more. The very first time I thought I did something completly wrong, like not paying attention to what I was doing or how I was driving. I don't text while I drive and I use a bluetooth when talking on cell and driving. That same day as soon as I got home I looked around the vehicle to make sure my friends didn't write something offensive to others on my vehicle. (it happened once while I was driving a military vehicle and the general saw it... not a happy day for my commander)
In total, three fingers for no reason, countless because I asked for. From now on I just S M I L E.

Just got my Z on Friday, 3 days ago. My kids (12 & 16) are already refering to it as the cool car.

So I take it out for a short ereand on Sat. Get to a red light, coming at me running full code is an ambulance. It has to cross the busy intersection, against the light. As it gets near I notice the driver is looking at only one thing. Not the possible cross traffic, not the road ahead, My Z. And when I say looking at, I mean staring, head turning, staring.

I got home and told my 16 yr old daughter, "You know you are driving a cool car when ..."

i would've stared back and smiled :p.

LOL MR.nismo! Lovin' your signature.... ;)

You are doing it wrong if no one is staring at you

:mad: Elaborate!

That, or I'm just not noticing the stares.

I did go to Taco Bell the other day and noticed a kid (maybe 17) and his much younger brother staring and then he came over and asked, "Excuse me, what kind of car is that?"

I thought that was pretty cool, but that's really the first time in a while I've noticed anything like that - other than a bum giving me a thumbs-up as he crossed the crosswalk in front of me back in Dec.

Or you're clueless like me :confused: Everytime my wife rides in the car, she notices people staring and mentions it to me. Me, I'm like really? :shakes head:

We're too busy being responsible drivers and paying attention to the road. :ugh2:

I just saw this and can say that does not sound very delicious at all :icon18:

In a way, I would rather not have some "shady" people staring at my Z, as the first thing that comes to mind is my Z being stolen or damaged while it's parked in the worst spot in the driveway.

I'm okay with no one noticing my Z and I doubt anyone is staring at it.

stares are good! that means they secretly envy you for having a Z , but also love you. :roflpuke2:

When the weather permits I pick up my son who is a Sophomore in H.S. I have done this 4-5 times this winter. Each time, kids stare and give me a big thumb's up. Just the other day, there were three kids attempting to jump a snow bank. As I pulled up, they all stopped in their tracks, followed me as I drove by one of them began to salute me and then the other two joined in and saluted as well.

I thought that was pretty funny.

LOL lilttle kids are the best I pulled up to a guy in a pick up and he had a kid with him the little boy screamed dad look! Then he just kept staring, even lil kids know the deal! :icon17:

I get the finger more often when I'm driving my H2 Hummer.

I've noticed people giving the Z more attention than my 08 STI got. Yet, there's not that many 370's here in Reno, and I'm pretty sure I'm the only yellow Z in town. I've had the car for a week and I've had at least 1 person every other day say something to me about the car. Pretty good feeling, yet kind of weird haha

Welcome to the "finger club". I bet you don't know why you get the finger!

Hummer? :icon18:


...close enough! :)

Only had my Z for two weeks and notice that it does draw some attention. The day I bought it, I had a prior gen Audi S4 try to race me on the highway (as I was driving the speed limit in the far right lane). Last week, I drove it to the Toyota dealer to get some parts for my wife's car and all the salesman just watched me drive by.
