Haha at least one person out there feels like I do!

And @ above question: No, I've never driven a lambo, but the murcielago has been my dream car ever since I was a kid. The Z is my first car.. It is really the rear window that gives me that feeling. Well, I definitely got a good start towards realizing my dream. Maybe some day I will be one of those lucky few to own one... If not, I will have to rent it. I have to at least get a small taste of the childhood dream!!!

In few words: The Z is the best bang for the buck in its category! THE best-selling Sports car of all time in teh U.S.!!!

In the limited time I've had the car, one of my favorite things about the 370 is how solid/tight it is. In that respect, it feels similar to a fine European car. IMO, a sense of quality goes a long way towards long term enjoyment. If a car doesn't feel like it's well built, it looses some of its appeal after a while.

People always ask me if it's a Porshe. I say "Look at the front emblem...." I call it my imitation Porshe hahaha and I'm fine with that.

Kinda sounds like one here:
YouTube - Jr's Nismo Exhaust clip #1

Probably one of the best sounding Z's on the net. Can anyone else top this one? More Z porn please!

DjSquall, I think the similarities are in the following areas, let me know if you agree:

1) Center console design.
2) Paddle shifters on auto 370Z.
3) Colored door inserts on 370Z Touring and general inside door design.
4) Small driver/passenger windows gives a sleek look.
5) Low front/high back design.
6) Unique split five-spoke wheel design.
