Hey Rob, I've been seeing them more and more in our area. I sorta wish the Nismo 370 was as exclusive as the Nismo 350. I hardly ever see any of them.

^yea i was at the king of prussia mall and ran into another 2009 PG nismo, and then saw a black '13 nismo in the adjacent parking lot. There is also a black 350 nismo frequently in that same lot too.

Drew a small crowd pulling into the dealership for my oil change today (8 free with the car purchase and yes, I made them show me the empty ester oil bottles).

When I came back to pick the car up, they had it parked diagonally in front of the dealership. Free advertising!

Had an older beat up Mitushibi Lancer (regular one not Evo) pull up next to me on the freeway yesterday and honked at me. Looked over and was two girls in it, and the driver was motioning forward with her hand. So I dropped into to 3rd and gave it a short burst of speed so they could hear the exhaust. When they finally went passed me they gave me a thumbs up.

Before you ask... no, they were not good looking lol.

went to the gas station today and like every other time I get..."nice care man, how fast is it!" Today it was fifty something lady who also let me know she knew something about sport cars or at least muscle cars as she said her husband has a super bee! I told her sweet and wish her a happy new year!

dmhenderson · 12-31-2012, 11:36 PM

Props if it was a '70's superbee and not the new charger one.

Hotrodz · 01-01-2013, 12:54 AM

Yep, from the way she stated it..it sounded like an old school rod. Very cool in deed!!!

Haha. . . reminds me of myself a little bit: Except I'll place my open palm under my ear like I'm waiting/asking to hear you floor the engine of your awesome ride

The last car to grant me the request was an E60 BMW M5 w/ the 5.0 liter V10 - Man, that's a loud engine when opened up !

Heh you know that's the first thing on everyone's mind lol. Second thing would've been did you get them to pull over he they were hot.

MJB · 01-12-2013, 10:24 AM

Had another big lifted truck pull up beside me and would gun it and then slow down to get beside me again. Im not gonna lie, that thing pulled hard. I swear these Texas boys love their big redneck trucks around here.

MJB · 01-12-2013, 06:00 PM

Wow, had another big truck pull up next to me and punched it, then an Evo soon after. This is crazy. All of last year when I was in another part of Texas I had very few people even look at my Z... now its like everybody has to prove they are faster than me. Have you guys been getting this much attention lately? If you don't believe me I'll start bringing a video camera every time I take it out. Geez, I can't image what it would be like to drive a Viper or something of that caliber. Annoying...

forza370z · 01-12-2013, 08:17 PM

Yup. Just last night a truck was trying to race me. Lol.

Hotrodz · 01-12-2013, 11:15 PM

Yup, fun and game with a Mercedes SL on the way home from the golf course today!

There was a lady at the detail shop yesterday with a 12 Altima Coupe that was oohing and awing over my car. Of course there was the usual how fast well it go and how fast have I had it stuff, but what was priceless was when the detailer stared up the engine to move the Z in the garage, she swooned and said ooh that is really nice...I love that sound. It doesn't get much better than that!!!

Cvzg77r · 01-13-2013, 05:09 PM

I've gotten is the body aftermarket? Is it a Porsche? I've even had hate from 350z guys one flipped me off while I was cruising.... Or other Z ppl don't wave jeez lol, but overall I love my nismo I just hate the shitty service you get at the Nissan dealerships my car has been there over 2 weeks now... :/ just because of a tire losing air n then they damaged the side skirt with the lift so now after all the tire trouble going flat on me twice after picking it up n inconvenience it's at the body shop they are trying to salvage the side skirt which I don't agree with but the body shop manager told my advisor that he was doubting it was going to fit properly so they may have to order a new one n re paint... Going on to 3 weeks... Yay :/
