pppssssshhh, thats got nothing on the almighty GT-RRRRRRRRR!

i think someone will make large dressup brake caliper covers that goes all around the inside of the wheel to show who's boss.

I've gotten more compliments on this car in the last 2 months than i've had on ANY of my previous cars. No certain age range or race... pretty much everybody. I get a handful of stares every time i leave the house and at least a few people a week verbally complimenting on it. Makes me feel all warm and tingly inside:supergay:

Ive never had a woman comment on mine (maybe cuz they expect a guy to be driving?)...but the car always gets looks & comments from white men - of all ages..kids will always turn all the way around & point. That will NEVER get old. love it!

I park my Z dead front of my restaurant and every middle aged, and some 50+, that comes in compliment my car. I offer them free drinks to those who compliments my Z. lol.

This one time I was at my church with bunch of my friends (mostly girls) and all of a sudden one of the church member (some jealous d-bag) comes up to me and says he doesnt like my 370z.....(obviously trying to look cool to insult my Z infront of everyone) I asked him what was wrong with it, and he just said "i dunno, I just dont like it". And I just simply said "yeah, but better than driving a volvo right? (he owned some POS volvo)

rule: don't insult someone else's car unless yours is better in at least some concievable way.

maybe he thinks his volvo's 5 cylinder motor is the $hit...

When you have a car that has been in production for 40 years you are undoubtedly going to get a lot of people between the ages of 40 and 70 who owned some version of the Z in the past and have fond, nostalgic memories of it. I get a lot of compliments from soccer moms and teenagers. There's a MILF in my neighborhood with a Miata who gives me a big smile every time we pass, so never used to when I had my G35 even though that car got a lot of compliments as well. When I first got my 370Z a bunch of the engineers I work with all made me go out to the parking lot and pop the hood. Not that there is a lot to see on a modern car engine, but we were all standing around like old time car geeks looking under the hood which was kind of cool.

That's generalization! That's like saying white people love your 370Z because you drove by Denny's and all the white people looked at your car.

Pretty much everyone...
 

I've gotten complements on my NISMO from people of all races, age groups, and genders. The first day I brought it to work, I pulled up to a stop sign on my way home... Some hot chicks all dressed up for a night out were walking by, and one yelled, "Hey! Nice car!" First time that's ever happened to me. I've had complements on other vehicles I've owned (my Xterra and my Tiburon) but always from adult men (on the Xterra), sometimes also from kids (again mostly boys) on the Tib.

Now, I'm an odd sort of guy... sometimes I like to take my fast Z and drive about 60 up the middle lane (never the left lane) of Rt. 3 (speed limit is 55, but most drive about 70). Naturally I'll have a steady stream of cars passing me on both sides. It amuses me to watch people's expressions change as they pass me! Starting off, I get the disdainful frown for driving like a jackass, which changes to approval/awe as they get a closer look. Very satisfying.

What's most interesting about that is seeing all the middle-aged and even older women craning to get a better look... Never expected that!

The "stare of awe" thing is the best. First time I took my Z to the station where I usually fill up, the attendant's jaw actually dropped when he saw it. I couldn't help but smile.

My dad made fun of me when I told him about all the looks and compliments I was getting... until he saw that look of awe himself on the faces of some of his neighbors as they jogged past my Z parked in his driveway. ;)

I will admit over the past couple of months iv'e gotten more comments than normal,really can't say why. All ages and race. Just this morning some older guy meaning in his late sixties while i was at the gas station ask me "what do you got in there a v6 or v8!!! He was driving a dodge ram truck.

same old question how fast will it go. it seems like most people think we buy these cars to drive them 140 all the time.

for better or worse these cars do attract attention...........

1) at a gas station, a big black guy came up and said "don't do anything to it, it's so hawt" lol
2) at walmart, a middle aged white man and woman came up and said they used to have a 300zx but that the new ones were by far better looking, then the woman said, "enough look, lets get back in our car... that focus..." xD
3) at subway, an old white man started talking to me about his old Z and how the new ones look so much nicer

The coolest thing is that every time you pass an SUV/Van, all of the kids in the back stare at you. You know you're doing something right ;)

My kid sister loves it when I pick her up at school in the Z every once in a while. I gotta admit, I'm a little flattered when all the kids turn and stare.

I wonder if the GT-R gets the same reaction as the Z to women. Its an impressive machine, but for the most part, mostly guys know what it is. Surprisingly, I had more girls come up to me when I had my RX-8, but I think it had to do with the car being red and shiny.
