That Civic is almost 10 years newer so it doesn't really matter. People still think my 2009 370 is a brand new/modern car. I love it

The Honda Type R and the STI are boy racer cars, the Z doesn't belong in this class, it was a dumb comparison.

:inoutroflpuke::iagree:

The "LOOK AT ME" arms race is in full blown retard mode, and the type R is clearly in the lead.

I like the Z because there just isn't another car aside from a 911 that looks anything like it for the money. Everything here in Oregon is "Me tooooo" wrx/sti, mustang, camaro, etc vehicles.

Mustang = just too many of them/don't like the hat wearing punks that gravitate towards them / questionable quality, get the gt350 or don't bother.

Wrx/Sti = get pulled over once a month / people try to race you every day / attracts dudes, not hot blond chicks / money pit / understeer

Camaro = I actually like the camaro, but it's just too large of a vehicle and I'm not even sure it would fit in my garage, plus, too many of them on the roads

Porsche = too expensive to daily drive, but obviously it's precision german pu$$y!

Brz/Frs = unreliable if you want to go forced induction/not worth the money/too common

Miata/Fiat = sorry, still a chic car/too small/not a daily driver, but a cheap track car, but I'd feel like a wimp picking up a girl on a date in one.

VW Gti/R = Nice car, but I don't trust VW/German brands unless you plan to lease it for 24-36 months and then walk away, but an APR tune on one of these is very tempting, but still worried about reliability

Audi/BMW = too expensive/too heavy/too common/ attracts gold digger chics. I'm a fan of the updated RS3, that would be fun with an APR tune, but again, not sure on the reliability factor. Audi = under-steer. M2 seems like the only one to have, but here in Portland we have Kuni bmw and I've just heard too many horror stories about them, especially after my neighbor worked for them

Lexus = It's ironic but their styling is starting to look more reserved and age better if you want a black colored vehicle to help mask the front, which means you better have $3500 to clear bra the entire vehicle or you like spending 8 hours a week buffing/polishing/glaze/wax/going insane. If someone can make a high quality less stupid looking aftermarket from bumper for their vehicles, it would probably be my next daily (not sure on model yet).

Nissan = outside of the 370, I dislike the entire rest of the lineup, and I'd never daily a gtr or even spend that much on a car unless a pile of money drops out of the sky. The CVT's are BS... you know the rest...

Toyota = Tacoma, used is in my future!!!

Horsepower means little if it isn't delivered properly or can't get to the ground (spun up tires don't help much, though it can be fun ;)). I agree with the author that “I never feel more in the moment than when driving the Z,” The feeling of the semi Spartan interior (Get a Lotus if you want true Spartan) and the way the car corners along with looking good, It's a winner for me. But it's not the newest/fastest Blah Blah Blah... It works for me so as quoted above.. Who Cares what people say.

:iagree:

I had this older black man drop some seriously strong words when pumping up my gas.

Had this older Indian guy (in a e class benz) be like nice car.

When I tell them it's a 2012 their reactions are actually priceless.

I have had 0 comments from girls it's always guys lol

Torretto told me that the base Z driver was granny shifting and double clutching. If he was driving? We woulda won!

:worship:

Some guys buy cars in attempt to attract girls but all they end up doing is attracting other guys

Women like muscle cars or practical cars. If u gonna impress them with a sports car? You gotta go for the gusto. McLaren. NSX. and shyt like that

Around here they like pickups and, at the complete opposite of the spectrum, crotch rockets

Dude, chics dig my car wicked! I don't get much man love vis a vis my 370, and I'm totally OK with that. Just sayin' :tiphat:

Chicks love the 370z!! When I take my car out on the weekends girls who are in cars next to me will stare and take pics and compliment my car.

My mom says my car is really keen! Does that count?

Look where you live. That wouldn't surprise me.

Totally counts! +1
