Nissan 370Z Forum  

Do Z owners think they're cool?

depends on the driver. In my area, there mostly older women that drive 370 roadsters..or the occasional 350. I wave anyway, but usually nothing happens.

Yup, I get more love from STi and Evo guys than Z drivers. To be fair, I've yet to run into any forum member.

To the OP: Take a pildora frio. Don't worry about it. If you are cool, you will know it and it will be manifestly obvious to all who you encounter. It's like tattoos. By the time "everyone was getting them" they were no longer cool. Your ride does not define your coolness any more than wearing bad ink does.
As you gain maturity you will see, grasshopper.......

To get this out of the way now, yes, I do feel cool as **** when I drive my Z. It's my weekend car so Hell yeah. With that being said I do not act like a douche when driving it. I'm actually a lot nicer driving the z, however, I know I'm only a couple clicks to downshift and take off etc. If I get cut off I will blast by downshift etc. But not all the time. I get a lot of looks when driving my Z so again yes I feel cool ga. Especially with my shades .

I do not wave to 350z drivers. Imo 350z are ugly and the people that drive them are young kids or old folks.

I try to give thumps up to all 370z drivers. I get excited when I see one and I'm driving mine. I act like I don't own the car my self aha. I hardly come across them, so when I do I get really happy haha.

I was next to a 370z once and I rolled down my window and so did the guy next to me. He was an older guy and I told him his z looked great in silver. It was rather gloomy so it really caught my attention. He said "this car looks great in every color".
Long story short I was driving to a friend's house and he happened to live down the street. So I pulled over and approached him and we talked cars for a bit. He told his wife, "hey hun, I found a friend with a z on the way here. Hahaha

I also had a douche 370z driver I encountered. I was going to target and he was behind me. He parked and I decided to park next to me. He then tells me that I was parked in a spot designed for pregnant people and I should move before I get a ticket. Didn't even acknowledge the car or anything.
He was probably mad cause I had the sport and he only had a base haha.

How would they know how pregnant an individual is, one does not get a pregnancy license plate.

Never understood the "Harley acknowledgement" mentality.

Do I think I'm cool because I own a Z? Nope. I exude awesomeness no matter what car I drive. Having the Z is just icing on the cake
