YES!! that butt sold me from the start!

LOL

I took my Z to a random shop couple days ago due to an emergency. They only had like beat up cars at the shop, like old hondas and trucks etc.
The mechanics were like " damnn that is a sick a*ss fuc*king car" etc

The owner, however, when doing the paper work said, "so that's a 350 right?" >.<
They can call it what ever they want, but I CANT STAND WHEN THEY THINK ITS A 350!

Same brand, next gen, but huge difference!!!

This girl thought it was an Infinity one time..LOL.

Or worse, this cop thought it was an FRS once..like how????

Everyone thinks I drive a Porsche and asks.

What really pissed me off was I told a girl I bought a 370z. She said whats that? Another girl said its just like my car. She drives a ******* nissan 2dr Altima and I don't even think it was the v6.

That is why I hate the Altima commercial where the guy stretches out his 370Z. When in this universe did it become ok to think that the altima and the 370Z are one in the same.

I had a guy in a GT3 do a double take, and then follow me for awhile checking me out. Pulled up next to me at a red light and gave me the

Jack, the head driving instructor at Pitt International drives a GT3. I parked next to him one time. Had lots of people comparing the two.

Dad's a 997S driver. I tell him the 370z is the best looking Porsche ever made.

Also, we are faster than caymens.

If we want to spend 911 money, we can get a GTR instead.

Porsche doesn't build race cars anymore. It's the new corvette.

Except for Porsche being the winningest manufacturer in le-mans history and corvette currently being in the manufacturers points lead this year...
