I imagine people look at Mercedes and BMWs as cars for middle-aged men who make too much money and thus don't want to give them any more attention. But a Z? It's a damn sweet-lookin' car that really honestly has zero cultural/economic stigma attached to it.

(Edited "BMWs are cars" to "BMWs as cars" I didn't mean to imply they're for older people, but I think lots of people attach that stigma to them.)

While eating in Firehouse subs, this dude jumped out of his car and snapped photos. I thought it was so funny. This has happened on two occasions in the 10 months I've owned it. It's a cute lil car and attracts alot of attention around here because there just aren't very many. I have very dark tint though because sometimes you just wanna sit at the traffic light in peace and not be stared at or egged to race.

I've been attracting the wrong type of people staring at my z... Mainly cops wth stop tailing me! I'm driving speed limit and 2 cop cars following me for over 10 mins. So I pulled into my driveway and waved at them... I wish I could flip them off but just annoying.

You can. They can't arrest or detain you for it.

The last time I was stared at like this is when I first bought my 2nd Gen TSX. It had only been out for a year already and there were literally none in my area. The 370 has been out for what, 4 1/2 years now? I've only had the car for 24 hours and I can say I've gotten looks at every damn stoplight on the two short drives I've taken. Crazy. Not used to the attention. Need tint. Now.

My 6yr old son asked me the other day.....Daddy, why is everybody looking at me like that? Then he shows me this face ....dropped jaw,wide open eyes...LOL....

Nobody really seems to car where I'm at, but on the rare occasions I drive my wife's car I get complement almost everywhere I go.

i was talkin' to my friend about this the other day ; ; - it's like being with a really hot girlfriend: everyone will stare and wish they had her.
It's the name of the game. I'd guess most of you guys like this attention if you bought a 370z, for sure.

definitley took some getting used to, especially since I was just getting back into the manual transmission....I was scared to death I would stall it in front of a bunch of staring people

I stalled it at a light once... promptly started up and raced off before anyone could see me! Funny thing is, is I had perfect shifts when I was embarrassed and took off.
