Some kids thought my Z was a GTR

Kaizer_Sosay · 10-09-2016, 11:29 AM

So far I've gotten Porsche and Maserati. Interesting to say the least...

I once had a Nissan sales rep point to my car when I asked him where their showroom GT-R went (Younger Nissan in Frederick, MD).

I was like, "nope."

dumb people use to think my car was a 350z too.

ChopsZ · 10-09-2016, 05:39 PM

I've had several people call my car a 300Z, and one lady ask me what year my "Corvette" was. I felt that one was an insult.

NRGz · 10-09-2016, 06:10 PM

Ive gotten alot of 350 comments.. i never corrected them.
Ive gotten alot of Porsche and 'what kind of car is that?'. All I tell them is its a Nissan .

Not very popular here for the Z. I have probably only ran into 3 370's since ive owned the car and all were lady driven..
A handful of 350's here though.

Traveling back from Texas to Washington visiting family. A guy on the interstate was driving like a freaking idiot, passing people on the shoulder doing a buck plus. I slipped her down a gear or two, caught up to him and got his plate and physical description. A few miles down the road as my wife was calling the police we get pulled over by the fuzz saying people reported us (driving a Porsche) for racing with another car. We stated our intent, handed him over the information as he was interested in finding him more than us and let us go about our way.

Nissan dealer called me this weekend while my car was there for some repair diagnosis.

Jacob: Hello Mr. James, I wanted to talk to you about your 350Z.
Me: Then I think you have the wrong number

They call my car a 350z A LOT!!!

Best story I ever had was a time when I was going through car wash (it was touchless and my car looked awful and I had a thing and was running out of time judge me) anyways there were some guys outside and they were all talking like
"oh what is that, that's a 350z right"
"yeah man I love those"
I Slowly drive by on my way in
"hey man it says 370 on the back, whats that?"
"oh isn't that the newer one?"

I don't understand how people cant tell them apart sometimes... and then people get annoyed at me for correcting them that its a 370

They look very similar if you don't actually own one. I always tell people to look for the rectangular turn signal cutouts in the back... dead giveaway.

Haha.... so true. If i correct someone they'll say whatever, sane car. I'll say no, it's a complete redesign and they only have mild resembles.

They say. It looks the same to me.

I choke it up to them being non enthusiasts or muscle heads.

Here is a couple other comments I have gotten: "What kind of exotic car is that, I haven't seen one of those before" and it must be nice to own a car that's worth a $100k!" LMAO
