to my eyes, there are only 3 production cars that look like race cars:

a porsche 911 GT3, a lotus exige, and a 370z nismo.

Ferraris and Lamborghinis look beautiful and exotic but they don't look like race cars to me.

since i drive the posted speed limits, the fact that it might be slower than a base 370z doesn't bother me
This site is loaded with people that claim to drive the posted speed limits. It's strange I never see anyone doing the speed limit, anywhere. Ok maybe something like one car out of a thousand, but that would mean that every one of them post at the370z.com. Strange coincedence I guess.

i drive the posted speed limits because i don't want the cops to pull me over and write me a no front license plate ticket

i forgot which comedians said this on tv but he said if he had a nice car like a ferrari, he would drive 5 miles slower than the posted speed limits, to make sure people could see him driving it

if it was, i would drive 5 mph below the posted speed limits too, but it ain't

drivers in fast cars got nothing to prove but drivers in slower cars do.

so do you drive faster when you're driving next to a base?

to date, i have seen many 350z but not another 370z on the road.

usually, I would only drive faster when I see a big truck because i fear it would send rock peeples my way

when there is no other car the road, i would drive the posted speed limits but when there are other cars i would drive with the flow of traffic.
i have put 1200 miles on this car to date but I have never driven in the fast (left) lane. usually people would drive 20 mph above the speed limit in that lane.

at least we don't get speeding tickets and cause fatal accidents like people who don't obey traffic laws.

I wanted a fully loaded pearl white manual. Finding a fully loaded manual was impossible for me and I didnt want the base so the nismo appealed to me. Sitting side by side I thought the nismo looked good enough to compensate for the lack of leather/touring. Honestly the leather in the touring seemed kinda cheap to me anyways.
