To wave or not to wave....

zmyride · 04-19-2010, 01:56 PM

1. I haven't seen other 370z yet, so haven't waved at them.

2. I've seen a lot of 350z, the older folks waved at me, so i waved back. but the younger dudes just stared at my 370z, so i never waved at them. I figured they wouldn't see me wave to them anyway because in their head, they're thinking it's time to trade in their 350 for a 370.

i get a lot of waves from other non-Z drivers, so i'm thinking of tinting my car.

Over the past few years I've seen like two 350z and no 370z. If I saw another Z I would definitely wave though.

350 owners think they're badass... when i first got my car i would try to wave but they would always look straight, and also most drivers were older men. so they dont like it when young guys drive sumtin newer then what they got... im guessing??? anyways

So basically I told him that hes full of chit, all the other 350 owners told him the same thing, most of them lust after my car, I love it.

I love my z, but there are some 350 guys 300 etc that really don't care for the 370 seriously but have respect for it. A college frat of mine waited till the 370 came out, went and seen it didn't like it. Ended up buying an 08 350 that he loves..... I do the wave every now and then myself.

I gotta agree, the 370 isn't for everybody, but I also have to admit some of the 350 guys are either hatin or in denial. I didn't like the 370 at first myself so I can somewhat relate.

Red370 · 04-19-2010, 05:07 PM

heres the question, what exactly does the 350 have that the 370 doesnt do better? gone are those ridiculous looking white reflectors on the back bumper, the long ass end, the retarded stabilizer bar that sits so damn close to your seat that you cant lean back, the trunk that can barely fit a motorcycle helmet, the fugly grill, the list goes on gentlemen. Oh and I forgot, 30 more horsepower... 100-150 lbs lighter... shorter wheelbase... wider stance... lower to the ground... SRM... am I forgetting something? C'mon fellas, people that own 350's that refuse to respect the 370 are in denial, and THAT is a fact.

had the choice to buy either or? and the 350 cost the same? do me a favor and tell that guy how much of an idiot he is for me.

id wave to another 370z, but not sure to any other z's unless it was a classic 240z or something. why? cause i just dont feel the connection between 350z's. 350z's are so ordinary and ordinary non-enthusiast folks drive them all the time. like waving to a civic or something...too many out there.

Ouch. Damn! Yeah, having thought about it. The only waves I've given was a 300ZX TT (obviously worked on) and another 370. I have noticed the hater stares hahaha maybe I should wave to them and see what kind of reaction I get.

Gunzero · 04-19-2010, 05:23 PM

I always smile at Z owners

and flash my fog lights.

He is far from an idiot its called preference, yes he waited to purchase until the 370 came out (like I said in my 1st message he has respect for it and other 350/300/280 guys I know as well). I don't know what he paid for it and just because we like the 370z's lines etc, some people just don't and that's fact.
