Back when I owned my Porsche Cayenne S I got ribbed by folks who said, "If it has four doors it's not a Porsche." Just goes to show that you will never make everyone happy. In face when I posted on facebook about wanting a Mustang I got dozens of replies each with their own opinion. But no one was offering to buy the car for me. :-)

We have been looking at both Cayenne's and Panameras. True Porsche people dont care as long as it is a Porsche. At least the ones in my chapter of the PCA.

The drop in value of a used Panamera is ridiculous. I see ones with 10k miles selling for the low 60's.

Had a Dominos delivery guy follow me for about a mile all the way into a gas station because he wanted to know what exhaust I had he. He said he thought I was a GTR. :p

So your car gets Dominoes drivers to follow you? That's a small step below supermodels now isn't it? :p

I think it's not a bad thing sometimes if people thought we are driving a porsche or whatever....


scenario:

you: (driving the Z going 80 in a 55 zone)
officer bob: (spot you speeding on the other side thus cannot chase you)
officer bob: there's a (whatever colour) porsche going on the eastbound on interstate xx
you: (driving the Z while officer john is looking for the porsche)




not bad.... eh..??

Yesterday I was leaving work. It was a beautiful day so I rolled the windows down. Guy in suv next to me asks. What does it cost a month to drive a car like that? I said I don't know I paid cash. His response, how much? I guess I am getting tired of ignorance, I said 70k. I don't think he even knew what it was, alll he saw was exotic.

When you guys look back at your car, do you see what I see? I see a sweet sexy little exotic car.

No its ok... i know how you feel... people come up to me and ask all the time... "what kinda Corvette is that?"

I just roll my eyes :rolleyes: <-- like that

I had a Porsche. I like the Z better in many ways.

the worst is when a guy person comes up and starts talking like they are a car guy and you know they are blowing smoke out their a$$. Especially when they make comments like that!

or better yet when they wana talk about how much power you are putting down and I throw out the WHP #'s from my tune and they say but I thought it makes 330hp I saw it online! those are just the few who actually know what car we are driving…..barely:shakes head:

There are enough 370Zs running around in NOVA that most people don't even notice the car. Which is nice, because **** people.

lucky! up here the Z is more a rarity most don't even know what it is :shakes head:

winnre 11-29-2013 11:00 PM

I see a few 350Z's but the 370 is still very rare in my area. But every mile you see five Ford Mustangs!

:iagree: up here mustangs and camaros are as common as caravans!

hence the rustang comment as 90% of them drive them through our salt crusted roads in the winter :shakes head:

I mean it's only a $30k car so its bound to be popular in areas. I see tons of them, and lots aren't even driven by enthusiasts. Lots driven by old men and women or young girls. Probably 1 out of every 10 370Zs here is actually owned by a car-guy/girl. Very few people return a wave.

haha I wish we paid 30K for it! up here in canada we pay way more!

right now a fully loaded Z '13 in Canada is 58k+ :shakes head:

no jokes, we literally bend over and take it on about 99% of our products!

just for comparison my 40th anniversary had a sticker price of $49,999 in 2010!

Yeah that definitely sucks for you guys. If I had to pay $50k+ for a Z... **** that.

LMBmikeZ 11-29-2013 11:14 PM

ya only problem is anything is just as much!

even a van or pickup truck we pay at least 10K more for it!

m4a1mustang 11-29-2013 11:15 PM

Scumbag Canada!

$30k stripped, but I wanted nav which means I needed touring and I fell in love with sport too. Adds up fast! Glad I did not get the stripped model. That center console turtle shell storage box is just weird.

well, when 30k can only get you a corolla or prius... :ugh2::wtf2:

you gonna think 50k for a Z is actually cheap...... :icon17:

m4a1mustang 11-30-2013 07:41 AM

Ok, so 30-40k. Still super accessible.

The cubby is awesome for space. Very convenient for storing items you need easy access to. Some people need nav, though.

m4a1mustang 11-30-2013 07:42 AM

Haha crazy monopoly money. ;)

Can't you buy a car in the US and take it over the border?

I wouldn't want to see the Z everywhere. Here in Chicago I rarely see any Zs, which I like. Not saying it's a "rare" care but Z sales definitely aren't like mustang, camaro, or corvette sales so there won't be one around every corner....and I'm ok with that!
