For a while I was tracking VINs and build dates of 2010 40TH AEs and I came up with a build rate of around 20 370Zs per day over two months (mid December 2009 to mid February 2010).
I know they build other models besides 370Z in the assembly plant, so the 370Z build rate may be different now, but it gives a rough idea.
It would be interesting to know how fast they are building them now.

Thanks for the insight, and for making me feel less crazy about trying to track this.

What I've learned in the last 6 months is that in terms of mass production comparisons, this is a very low volume car. 370's have sold WAY less than 350's within the same 2-1/2 - 3 year first release time period. I'm chalking that up to the economy and the Camaro being back, but I'm just guessing. But even if you use 2009's sale of 13117 cars, and divide it by say 48 weeks, that's only about 275 cars a week. Use 2010's numbers and that drops all the way to about 210 cars a week. 2011 is even slower.

Yeah, hopefully I'll be able to figure it out soon and report back.

Per this thread 2011 370z sales August was about 130 cars a week. Although since allocations and orders weren't happening as usual, one has to wonder how many of these cars were older orders or "remakes" due to the tsunami.

If you use the 130 per week figure, with my car built on 8/25 and a VIN# around 500, that would mean 2012 production started at the begining of September (or even late August). Hard to know for sure until we get exact build dates and aprox VIN#'s.
