Z needs more publicity!

I'm glad I don't see Z commercials anywhere, funny thing is that I don't even remember seeing a Z in any of the F&F's movies as well ...correct me if

Because you can review a car so many times before people loose interest.

I'm glad not many people know about it. I've even been asked what kind of Porsche I drive... lol.

Worst (newish) car I ever drove was the Versa I had as a rental in Hawaii the other year. God what a turd! No wonder nobody thinks about Nissan when they look for a performance car.

I kind of like the fact not many people have this car. Makes it a little more special. Especially gping to car shows and stuff I think fall nationals at raceway park there was me and maybe 3 other 370's..at the last biggest event of the season.

I still remember the days when Nissan (Datsun) would up the ante on the Z every ?4? years (240, 260,280...).

I agree with what was mentioned by others: it's an old design. Back in 2009, the 370 was heavily advertised on TV and in the movie theaters. Heck, I really felt good when I could hear moviegoers raved about it.

Fast Five. They are trying the Porsche GT3RS on their mock parking garage track. Then Dom says they need something faster. Cue the chick driving a PW 370Z in the next scene

Too funny, I just watched that last night and chuckled at that part.

i rather pay the premium for 2 seats.

i want a sports car. not a sports car trying to be a sedan.

or a sedan trying to be a sports car (3 series, is350, c seris, cla series, s4 series etc etc etce tc)

each to their own.

is it fast? sure. is it fastest? no. does it turn? yes. fast? decently so. best? definitely not.

the z is one of those in the bunch cars. not super stellar at any one thing but has such a great combination of relatively good numbers to justify this as great.

oh and i read in an article about the rcf probably being one of the last big NA engines out there. I feel the same way about the VQ37... it's probably on the cusp of being the last iteration of NA for the foreseable future. I love FI but still... i have a huge appreciation for NA (thanks to initial D)

Good day to review that movie as it's a blizzard here in my neck of the woods. I've always wanted a 2 seater as well but the family came first, now is wifey and I so there is no excuse not to have the car I've waited since it came out in 2009 (the no disrespect to the 350Z owners but it seemed that there was always something missing in them). Also times have changed since the insurance companies used to rape you with the rates if you drove a 2 seater)

Yeah it seems a lot of cars are switching to smaller engine but turbo models.

"i want a sports car. not a sports car trying to be a sedan."

This all day. There are few two seater options and even fewer in the Z's price range.

Most people can't envision not having a backseat.

I like 2-seaters.

My car has 4 seats. And guess what? After, 65,000 miles no one has used the rear seats.

What a wasted space - well 70% of the time.
