LOL:rofl2:

Hey thanks! My dad took a beating from mama after we got home from the dealership haha xd
I originally wanted an evo x for graduation.. Dad said yes.. Mom said no..
Mom and dad got me the scion tc release series 5.0. It looked pretty nice I must say, but lacked the power xd.. I convinced my dad to look around for a 370z.. and now im here in this forum haha.

I think we will see less 350z as well, seeing how many kids buy one and immediately total it.

Lol, I'm in Uptown and I see a few of them a day. 1 guy has a Yellow one in my townhouse complex and up where my Aunt lives in Frisco I seen a few of them roaming around up there as well.

man, it's not special any more. I see a 350Z almost everyday. by the end of summer, i'm sure i will see one 370Z every day.

I hope Z won't become like Mustangs, they litter the roads everywhere.

It's the most successful selling sportscar in history. What did you expect?

If you want to assure yourself a standout, go buy a Veyron.

well, i did read here somewhere that the average individual income in richardson area is like... 20k a year? and dallas is like 15k a year?

so maybe thats why. but then again.. this is based on IRS reports.. some people arent honest when filing taxes.

EDIT: Im sorry about the figures... Im sure im off. someone correct me. =)

We can forget about the Rx7 or Ft-86, etc etc... so its important the Z sells in order for other companies to want to create competitive cars. As a former RX7 owner. I am praying for the 2012 mazda rx7. And I am dying to see the Z and rx back on the track dukin it out.(even though I may be the Z owner this time) The Rx8 was a disappointment to us rx7 owners.... I know if the Z fails? The likelyhood of these carscoming here are grim
I don't know about you guys? But I love all sports cars. I respect the hobby and love a little friendly "RESPECTFUL" competition between the sports cars. The Z is the japanese mustang. Not by volume, but by heritage. They gotta sell decent numbers to keep the whole industry viable as a market.

^ I totally agree. As much as we hate seeing more 370Z's we need to respect the reason why Nissan is even continuing with making cars like the Z. If not enough people buy it, they'll end up like Toyota which decided to go a different route with their car line ups. I'm sure most people didn't like the idea of them ending the Supra. Similar with Honda ending their NSX, S2000 and replaced them with fuel efficient cars like the CR-Z (which I don't think cut it for a sports car). I am dying to see the next RX-7.

I'm sure we all either want to be unique or be one of the first to own therefore the less 370z we see the more it stands out to the people that doesn't own one.

I admit, I like it whenever someone that sees my Z for the first time and goes "wow, that's a nice looking sports car" because it caught their attention. After all, I did buy the 370z for that reason - rare compare to other class around the same value. But I can't be the only one hogging that attention, unless I can afford something more rare like the Zonda or FXX and even then, which I'm sure you're prolly in a different class (financially), there'll be other people in that group of circle you're with (like celebrities for example) you'll be upset with because you're not unique anymore.

No, Z is not. The Mazda Miata is.

I see about 4 370zs other than mine @ work EVERY DAY... I also see about 2-3 lambos every other day ... ford gts once or twice a week ... astons just about every day lol...

I love the fact that it's a more rare car. I see 100+ mustangs a day, camaros and challengers like crazy, corvettes often. Maybe a z car like twice a week.

Apparently your work area has some pretty tasteful people who love cars and can afford nice cars. 2-3 Lambos every other day? Are you sure you're not exaggerating a little? If you're not, those must be directors and VPs of some pretty successful companies - it upsets me to see young punk @$$ kids in really expensive rides they don't buy with their own money. My director and VP drives the crappiest cars. One's a 80's MRs, so beat down; and trust me I'm not judging a book by it's cover, I just think they're not into cars as their other cars at home aren't really nice either. But yea, my buddy works at Lockheed Martin and he tells me he sees several 370z in parking lot and there's a Corvette ZR1 too. Oh well, can't help but to be bitter that I don't make enough :bowrofl: I'll just have to imagine my 370z is a Porsche 911. :p

I see maybe one 370z a week if that. They are pretty rare here in Omaha...

In Australia they're thankfully still a rare sight, here the Audi TT dominates this price coupe catagory, probably 10:1 against the z.
