I don't have this problem

As I have only seen one 350 on the road EVER

I havent even seen a 370 on the road.

They are mega exclusive here

If you really want to see how much they love the 370, go read their forums. LOL. They HATE 370's on that board.

I don't think I have had a 350Z driver be anything but indifferent to me on the roads. Sometimes you see them give that quick look, then they turn away again so you won't see them looking. heh.

I had a guy in a NA 300 flash his lights at me the other day in my 370.

I've never seen so much hate for a car in my life, never seen so much snobbish douchebaggery in my life, its unfortunate that they refuse to believe the Z34 is superior in every respect.

HAHA. well, to be clear, I don't expect them to believe that. I'm sure they like their cars. I liked my 350. I was surprised they hate the 370 so much. Its easy to get the impression its jealousy, whether it is or not who can say? For instance, they rip our headlights then stick little metal things on theirs to make the shape appear more aggressive.

I used to read that board when I had a 350, and still read the 370Z section from time to time after I bought my 370. I just read. I do think its funny. I don't argue with them about the cars.

Besides a 370Z isn't better in every way. the 350Z clearly has a better TPMS readout.

I'm noticing a lot of ricey drivers are being aggressive around me, not just riced up 350s.

This is my first Japanese car and I've not encountered this crap before. Didn't happen to me in my BMWs, Audis or VWs. It's really f**king weird. It's like some petty, poor *** car turf war or something. Suddenly, there are stupid little eye lasers going on. And these people always stupid little knucklehead hats pulled down as far as they can get away with. HA!

My guess is that this is what happens if you're driving something that is *just* out of reach for some people, rather than if you're driving something that is totally out of their reach. I guess it just burns that little bit more.

Get a f**king life, you petty, small-minded @$$wipes! I'm driving home, tired, from work to see my wife. I don't want to race you and your farty exausted, vinyl stickered, bass bin on wheels.

It's human nature to hate something you don't have. Hell, half the people on this board trashed the 370 NISMO when it came out. It's not just 350 owners....

I love how much hate my Nismo 370Z gets. I can't believe how wound up and how far out of their way people will go to get mad about a car that someone else out there on the Internet bought.

"You bought a Nismo 370Z? MY NISMO 350Z IS BETTAR!!! I HAVE SEAM WELDS!! WAHH!!"
"You bought a Nismo 370Z? MY BASE MODEL WITH MODS IS BETTAR!! WAHHH!!!"

People need to chill out.

Jeffblue

good points. Honestly its the same as a nismo yelling at a person who spent the money on getting a touring/nav/automatic (WHAT IS THIS A LUXURY CAR?!) its so funny, people have like almost the exact same car, and still find a reason to not like the other persons car.

daleks

Yes, but you forget that by having a base model stereo in the Nismo you can pull an additional 0.0002g. It handles like a completely different car! I know this because the Internet and Car & Driver told me so.

Interesting comments. Having owned an 05 C6, an 07 Z06 and an 09 Z06, I became quite used to the "Corvette wave" where any generation Corvette will wave at another generation. True, a few people didn't wave back but in my experience, the majority did. It's unfortunate that there appears to be some degree of animosity or jealousy on the part of 350Z owners based on this thread. I did wave at a 350Z and got a wave back.....so maybe not all is lost.

wishihadnav

nismo's overated..haha!

gumpy

Thinking about it, I haven't got the best reactions from the 350z's I've seen.

Only once I got a wave back from a lady in a 350z, otherwise I get snubs...

Mercennarius

I can see some 350Z owners being like this.

Owners of older gen Zs don't act like this.
