Is that a Z? No it's a Porsche

kfull · 11-03-2013, 12:06 AM

When my Z was hit last winter the old guy who hit me thought it was a porche. Took it as a compliment and it improved my mood about .00000000001% considering he just HIT MY Z. She's all fixed now though.

LOL For the first time today I've heard someone tell me, "Hmm its looks likes a Porsche".. and I was like.. "Well its not" hahahaha

Last summer, I got such a Porsche complement from a cute little twenty year old blond thing. Darned shame it all didn't happen 40 years ago!!

The rear fender flares out pretty agressively in the z and that reminds me of a 911. Maybe that's why

My pennies worth as Ive also owned both, and recently. Had a 2003 996.2 two years ago and earlier this year bought a 2010 370 roadster. Biggest shocks for me was how much cheaper the insurance was for the Porsche, The servicing costs was much cheaper for the Porsche £144.00 from Porsche and £207.00 from Nissan for the Z.
Parts too are a lot cheaper and the dealers at Porsche were so much more enthusiastic about the cars. They also had great days where you can go along and have an hour with a technician and a free breakfast too.
The Porsche was a lot older, granted. I love the 370 it's more "refined" and cheaper to buy and I loved those wide haunches in the mirror of my 911.

Porsches look nothing like Zs. Then again if I had a Porsche I would keep mine.

That's because you are in Europe and the lower shipping costs make everything cheaper then here.

At lunch this guy that was sitting in his car beside mine, saw me walk up to my car, rolled his window down, looked at the car hard, and said "Looks like a Porsche... What is it? Looks good!" I laughed and said it was a Nissan, wished him a good day and left. I was dying of laughter when I got in my car because I knew this thread existed, lol
