The Mainstream Z

Viera · 04-29-2010, 11:39 AM

I don't know if any of you guys have this problem, but a lot of times I get random Z drivers pull up behind me, drive up next to me, give me some dirty look, then accelerate away. I don't know if they're just jealous or what. I mean, if the other person and I initiate eye contact, I'm usually the first to give them a thumbs up, but the majority of these guys seem to despise our new Z's or something. On the other hand, I get a lot of thumbs up from bimmers and other high-end cars; even modded Z's. I think it's just the Z owners that don't know **** about cars...along with jealousy. What do you guys think?

you are not alone. i get this too. there are a few 350's in my complex. i can tell they are jealous. especially since i'm the only one there w/ a 370 so far. reving their engine trying to show off. whatever, they are the ones looking like idiots.

yeah 350 owners seem to hate..haha.

trent1331 · 04-29-2010, 12:32 PM

I've only had 2 positive interactions with another Z driver.. The rest are just unaware completely, (sometimes intentionally I think)

fullmonty · 04-29-2010, 12:52 PM

Ya I run into more pissy 350 owners than cool ones. But the cool ones really are cool. 300 guys for the most part are cool aswell.

Jeffblue · 04-29-2010, 12:55 PM

i dont get why they would hate on a 370z owner. I'm pretty sure a lot of people here might have bought 350's but the timing wasn't right etc. its honestly like someone with a base 370 hating on someone who has the rays if they happen to cross paths. No matter how similar people are, they can always find differences to squabble over.

antman22 · 04-29-2010, 01:12 PM

most of the 350's i've seen and interacted with are pretty nice. i usually get a nod or thumbs up from them.

saw a really hot chick in a 350 roadster yesterday, she totally ignored me

shabarivas · 04-29-2010, 01:18 PM

Ok I know what you mean and its really simple... when some young kid working a shift at burger king wants to drive a fast car - he gets a 4 year old 350z for 12k ... so when he has JUST gotten the cool 350z of his dreams - he sees you on the freeway waxing in your brand new 40K car which for sure he cant afford right now... hence the anger... its normal... I look at some ferrari owners the same way... except that im too busy drooling to be mad and gas away lol..

NewlyIMPORTed · 04-29-2010, 01:20 PM

ever since i got my exhaust not one 350 owner has been cool they are all a$$ holes and try to race its lame and i have a base and when i see the rays i smile because they look amazing
