Why dont you see many 370z's on the road on your commute?

Niche79

So I was shocked to actually see a PW 370z the other day and brought me over to the forums to wonder, why? In the entire 2 years I have only ever seen 2 on the road in my town of around 120k ppl. However, the new Camaro is starting to become a dime a dozen on the streets, esp near the Navy base with all the new guys rollin in that cash from training/deployments! Dont get me wrong, I like their looks but its typical American trash plastic parts on the inside and im sure wont last or be worth a thing after 5 years. So do I just not live in a big enough city or an affluent enough city where people cant afford them? Soon, I will be buying one but had to put it on the back burner for a engagement ring for the gf which costs a few grand alone! Anyhow always wondered if anyone else had the same ideas on the topic.

cubic zirconia looks like diamonds...

You live south of the Mason Dixon line, thus the large numbers of Camaros.

Lol good point, however you must not have a Doctor for a woman, lol she wants to be bling blow like her partners or even bigger! haha I promised her Minimum of 1ct and I pay cash for stuff like that so hence no car while I pay for the ring! And it cant be a terrible quality just to get by either!

Yah thats probably eactly what it is too, they are EVERYWHERE, I was by the base the other day and saw 5 SS Camaros rolling by me in about 5 blocks time! Guess if this was a Camaro forum, id have 50 guys to talk to just in this town alone! haha but good thing I like foreign cars *and Canada doesnt count*

I see 370s all over on my way to work. I usually count on seeing at least 5 on the way in to the office in the morning. There have been days when I've seen more than 10.

My little city is only about 500K people and there are 7 370's that have been sold from the only nissan dealership (i call the sales guy about once a month for updates LoL) but 2 of the 7 are here at my house. That's one of the many reasons i didn't get the new camaro i knew it would be like the mustang everyone and there gmaw would have one. Not that i don't like them both i just love the Z more.

Same around here, but Mustangs, Challengers and Camaros are all over the place.

I might see two or three 350Z, but no 370Zs.

I dont know what city you are in Florida as well, but heres how bad it is. Two of the docs my gf works with,*both around 30 as well* go and buy brand new cars one week apart from eachother. Ones buy an SS Camaro, the other the SRT8 Challenger! Of course I had to go for a ride in the Challenger and I was shocked at the raw power but it was just freaking huge and not really me, thats not my type of sports car. But anything in the South is gonna be full of muscle cars vs real import cars less your in the big cities like Jville, Orlando, Tampa, Miami. The smaller FLorida towns is gonna have muscle car fever!

I'd probably say the price is a huge reason.

How many of the mustangs or camaros that you see actually break the 25k price? Most of them are probably base models. Most of the mustangs that I personally see are base. THey are both affordable cars for under 25k.

How many 30k+ sports cars do I see on a daily basis? Much less.

4-seaters are much more conventional as well. They are obvious choices when looking at space for sports cars.

Ive seen a few camero SS s and they can get close to 40K. I was looking at vettes today and looked at the camero ss and one was stickered at 39500. I see 30K, 40K and 50K cars all the time every day.

And alot of them are on post, soldiers are getting paid well today. But El Paso also has 13 GTRs running around too so there are some well to do people here by the border. I wonder why?

That's crazy.

In NOVA the 350Z is the most popular car behind the Porsche 911. I see more 350s than I see Mustangs, and I have been at stop lights where there were 4+ Mustangs.
