I get that all the time, bro. But the way I look at it is that's more their problem than mine.
:p

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!!!


You made some good points that I agree with for sure, but if you drive a Z because chicks like it... buy a crotch rocket that's too big for your riding capabilities. Picking up a girl on a date in your Z is just a perk... possibly in her eyes.. but definitely in yours :driving:

More to the point. Anyone that buys a car to attract girls is pretty pathetic and shallow and will only be attracting a shallow girl so do not be surprised when she cheats or leaves you. Grew up with two sisters and thankfully neither would go for a guy because of his image or ego.

Buy a sports car for yourself and because you love to hit that adrenaline edge (preferably on the track) and **** what anyone else thinks about your purchase. Unless of course you bought it and never actually use it and just use it to overcompensate, then please sell it to someone that can appreciate it.

That should be no surprise to anyone here. One only needs to look at the upgrade history of the Z34 platform and the level of tech that has evolved over the last 9 years (zero).

As to getting beat by a Honda Civic...I don't care either. I own a Z because it's fun to drive. The Type R being faster doesn't affect how my car drives at all. There are a lot of cars that are faster than my Z. ****, I have a buddy with a pickup truck that will walk all over it from stoplight to stoplight. If you're buying a car for street racing and speed-bragging rights, the Z was the wrong car to buy, and that should be obvious to everyone after 9 years.

You sir, get it. Except for the Miata/Fiat. Those things will run circles around the Z in the twisties. But on the straightaways not a match

That blue Honda looks like it's trying too hard.... Not my thing. However, Taco Bell kinda making me hungry.

To my eyes, the civic looks like a 6th grader smashed an egg shell then tried to glue all the pieces back together.

Having said that, the 370z is coming up on 10 years old and is pretty dated in terms of performance figures. The civic will be able to go just as well, and seat twice as many people.
