How much attention does your 370z get?

ajc1884 · 07-02-2014, 03:51 PM

People look at the Z cause it's not a very common vehicle, unlike the boring mustangs and Camaros........I actually turn the other way when I see those.

You can add Challengers and Vettes to that as well. Driving from Kingman to Vegas just about every other car is one of these 4.

Around here, Z's are not very common. A few times, I'll be driving on I-70 and wondering why some idiot is pacing me and swerving all over the place and my wife will be like "He's saying 'nice car!' and I smile and wave and say "Thanks, please don't crash into it OK?"

I've mentioned in other threads the excess attention it gets is one of the only things I don't like about the Z. I should have known better because it sure got my attention right away. I'd rather be a little more discreet. I was used to BMW coupes and sedans which don't draw so much attention. That said, I do appreciate a car that isn't in the shop every other week. Man, Bimmer quality really sucks.

Here's what happened with a recent stop in Mississippi.

Interesting weekend

Once in a while someone checks it out on the road. I can go a few days without seeing another 370.. but usually see at least 1 350 a day. And 99% of the time so far, the Z's "look" stock, and the owner usually could give a #$@# that there is another Z on the road with them.

Rarely (that I see anyways) do I get comments or looks.

davwak · 07-02-2014, 06:46 PM

Not much attention at all so far (not that I've noticed). Maybe I'm just too busy having a lot of fun driving.

Chejuan · 07-02-2014, 10:18 PM

I've had some stares, mainly pointed out by my passengers, since I'm having too much fun driving to notice

. The other day I went past a Genesis coupe on the interstate and my passenger noticed the driver checking out the Z as I drove by.

After adding springs, spacers, lip, and exhaust - lots of attention, makes the car really stand out

I'm reposting this from an experience I had August LY. This was on the Fast Intentions and Best Compliment thread.

I'd put this on top of my list:

Left home early enough to get to work by 8AM. I jumped on the fwy and it was packed. Traffic news says an accident on the 210 jamming the 5. What normally took 25 minutes ended up being 1:15 on the road with 5 minutes more to get there.

Along Tampa Blvd about 3 blocks before I turn right, I took off from the stop light going from the left lane where I was at onto the right lane but accelerated pretty quick to beat everyone else. As soon as I got to the middle lane out comes a black and white with his lights flashing. I did not even see him and was caught off guard by this. To be honest I did not know if I even went above the speed limit (45) ore not, all I knew is I got there fast. I stopped just before the next light and I was mad at myself ready to tell the officer "I'm sorry, you got me". I was also thinking great, I have no plates in the front, car's pretty loud, I'm gonna get a hefty fix it ticket on top of a speeding ticket.

Officer steps out of his car, with his partner sitting inside, officer came to my side smiling and stuck his hand out to shake mine, all while I was telling him how sorry I was and you got me. Told him about the traffic I was just it and rushing to get to work, etc. He was talking over me at the same time saying "no, no, you're cool. I just wanted to stop you because I'm car guy and I love what you did with your car.....and that exhaust, it sounds really good. I'm not giving you a ticket. I'm just a car guy and my partner even knows that, so you're cool." How lucky can I be! I WAS SO HAPPY!!!! and grateful. I said cool! we can talk about cars all day long Officer xxxxxxx. He asked Where did you get that exhaust? I told him it was made by Fast Intentions in Simi Valley. He said it sounded really good. "When you took off, I had to stop and talk to you about it".. In my excitment, I offered to give him two $10 gift cards from work that I readily hand out when I meet people and I was thinking to myself, oh ****, I hope he does not think it's a bribe, I was just happy. He turned it down of course. He said no you're cool. I told him how cool he was and gave him my business card and said let's connect and talk about cars. We can even go to a car meet if you want. He said, cool and shook my hand and let me off. I waved back at his partner sitting in the patrol car. I drove off laughing at myself and about what just happened the rest of the way to work.

This my friends is the best compliment I had so far.

Every other person in Glendale has a G/Benz/Bmw so not that much actually.

Exactly, those are as common as ford escapes, unless we are talking amg and m series.

I like that I can go through a whole week of driving 1200-1500 KM's and in most cases not even see 1 370.

paratrooper · 07-03-2014, 06:45 AM

Well I was going to post yesterday and say just a little, but then on my way home last night from a friends house I had this mid 2000's dodge ram 1500 get right beside me several times in only a few miles and kept revving. I just smiled and kept driving until he decided to slow down and jump right behind me on my tail. Lucky for me I was turning onto the merge lane of the interstate so I sorta just left him quickly. The whole time his g/f was just shaking her head at him... pretty priceless.
