370z is a (new) classic car bargain

SennaZ · 01-09-2018, 02:09 PM

This article is one of the reasons I started looking for 370Zs. I've met the writer , Jack Baruth, before and he's an awesome guy. He knows cars and racing like the best of anyone. He's also actually a former BMX star. Thought you guys would enjoy reading it too.

Pretty spot on. I enjoy his writing style, it lacks a certain excess of hyperbole that makes other writers just plain awful.

Excellent read and accurate. I’ve advocated for years it hasn’t been updated because it really doesn’t have a true peer. Though that’s changing and we all come here to find a clue, if it’s out there, if Nissan will stay in that small, niche, game.

What's interesting I've found, is nearly everyone hates on the car online, yet!

Out in public, gets TONS of looks, questions, positive feedback from all ages.

I think most just don't want to admit they're bored with their "me too" checklist lives, and the Z kind of stands out on it's own as something different, and sometimes different is actually better.

Can I have one too? I don't have very many.

Not a badly written article. Thanks for sharing.

I couldn't agree with you more! I remember one particular cars and coffee meet last summer where I had about a dozen people around my car admiring it and asking what it was. It was the only 370Z there. When I explained it was a modern Nissan Z car, most were amazed that it even existed. The admiring look on their faces was priceless. This is the reason I bought a Z. Classic drivetrain in a beautifully styled package that most people love but do not immediately recognize as a Z.

I completely agree with the author of the R&T article. Once they're gone, everyone will want one. Hang on to them, people!
