How much attention does your 370z get?
Unshamefully copied and pasted from the 370z Nismo section as I could not find a similar thread for us non Nismo folks.http://www.the370z.com/nismo-370z/44...nismo-get.html
I love my 370z and think it looks great, but I had no idea it would be getting so much attention on the street when I bought it. Maybe I am just so used to the look of the Z (350 and 370) that I don't think it stands out so much, but man I swear it is almost like I am driving a Ferrari. I have been getting so many looks, and so many people coming up to me and saying "Wow beautiful car" and things along that line... I swear if at any point in the future I go 1 week without somebody saying something or staring me down I will feel like something is off Sometimes I feel like this car would be perfect for a pedophile because young boys ( girls for me ) seems to especially love the nismo (disclaimer: I am not a pedophile, just sayin) |
When stopped at a stop light, my passengers usually notice people checking out the car. But they do it discreetly by staying at my blind spot so I can't see them :D
|
i personally haven't seen anyone check it out... just people at work tell me it's nice
|
Not so much here in LA or the Marina as there are nicer cars everywhere, and everyone is pretty immune to nice cars by now. The most looks I get are ones parked next to me at a light, and I always notice them looking at the wheels/brake calipers.

one for you... Last year I had Mike The Powder Coater and forum member as well powder coat my brake calipers in a Inferno Orange color.. I swear this took the looks and smiles to another level. Enjoy and daily your 370Z. |
I get some looks, not tons though considering I work in a pretty well off area. When I drive through the other areas randomly though, I do get the looks for sure though :) Makes me feel all tingly inside haha
|
Very little. I suspect I would get more attention in a lifted bro-truck around here. Although, some dude did compliment my wheels yesterday, as I was leaving Home Depot.
|
Common issue.

I usually park away from the door bangers when I take the Z to the store. I regularly see people walk by craning there necks around to look. It is a great looking car. While I live in a fairly nice area, Z's and especially 370Z's are not seen very often. Here, they are unique. I like that. |
How much attention does your 370z get?
Not sure if it's just the bright *** blue color but I get compliments and turn heads literally every time I stop for gas. I remember once an older gentleman just say inside the passenger seat without asking to "check out the interior". Kind of creeped me out. Lol
-M- |
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?" :D
|
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.
|
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.
|
Here's what happened with a recent stop in Mississippi.

Werd, Mad Bitches
|
Rarely (that I see anyways) do I get comments or looks.
|
Not much attention at all so far (not that I've noticed). Maybe I'm just too busy having a lot of fun driving. :)
|
I've had some stares, mainly pointed out by my passengers, since I'm having too much fun driving to notice :driving:. 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.

Weekly, @ the coin op car wash where i take my Z.its either a verbal or visual compliment. I like my Z :rolleyes:
|
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.

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

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.
|
I get a few compliments and once in a while I notice another driver checking my car out. Z's are pretty rare around my neighborhood.
|
I give my Z lot's of attention...I tell her how sexy she is, and racy. And smarter than the other sports cars. But sometimes she gets mad when I want to just hang out with my buddies' cars and drink high-test. Other times she just goes off on me for no reason. Like the other night, she caught me looking at a Maserati, and now she isn't speaking to me!

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. |
It's rare to see one here, I have only seen one other so far this summer, so ya I get a lot of looks. It could be the HFCs and FI exhaust though too. It gets pretty loud when you give it even a medium go. While that was cool to hear for the first bit it garners unwanted attention from our law enforcement types too. It sounds like something a kid would drive and that gets even more attention. I am thinking of doing something with the exhaust to quite it down a bit.
If I can swing it I will do either FI or BP FI kit this winter which will get me back to stock cats which will help some. |
I see one, maybe two 370s a day. I know there is a 40th very close to where I live, the rest are on my commute to Orlando and back. There is a Yellow one that I see daily. We cross paths in the morning. The rest are random.
|
I was driving past 4 guys working on their Hondas and they stood up and have me a round of applause. Every time I park somewhere I get a ton of questions, mostly about my wheels.
|
It gets more looks than my dropped G37 did, probably because I honestly think it's the only one in town. Though getting the windows tinted and putting on some Forgestars certainly didn't help with the rubbernecking.

My boss will often get pissed off at me because of where I park my car at the dealership.
He complains that customers are asking about the Zed instead of the BMW product. Cracks me up :) |
The same people at work ask me if the wheels are factory...the response is always yes, as if they're going to catch me in a lie. I generally get comments or nods at a gas station. I don't generally look to see if others are somehow trying to look at the car while I'm driving.

Not often, but it does happen daily. Like mentioned earlier, they do it discretely.
I average about 1 thumbs up a week, cant complain! |
I'm chilling with the in-laws, enjoying the holiday and just watched some kids do the "stop and stare" as they passed my car on their skateboards. I guess that counts.
