Default El Paso, Texas: Full of 350Zs.

I spent three weeks working at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas earlier this month and was amazed at the large number of 350Z's I saw in the area both on and off of the base. I couldn't go anywhere w/o seeing them.

I only spotted a couple of 370Z's though, in particular a very sharp looking Red colored one on the base in a parking lot everyday.

Funny how I can spend six weeks working at Fort Drum in New York state earlier this Fall and I only saw two 370Z's and only a handful of 350Z's the entire time I was up there.

You probably saw more in texas because of the climate in NY. A lot of people aren't going to be driving Zs in the wintertime, but that doesn't really apply here in Texas. I actually still don't see many here in DFW, usually a couple times a month maybe. I definitely see more 350s though.

I drove from Colorado to Baton Rouge, LA in my 370 and didn't see another 370 the entire 1700 mile trip. There is a ton of 350s around here... but still... none compare to the amount of new Camaros I see. I see at least 15 on my way to a from work.

I have 12,000 miles in my 370 and have seen exactly 5 others while behind the wheel. I drive all around Northern CA and the Bay Area. I see many 350's. I never see 240s when driving my 71.
Please excuse the random thoughts.

I thought I had a unique car here in Wichita Falls TX. Not so; there are three blue 370zs in this city and two, including mine, on Sheppard AFB.

Around here I barely see one, maybe once a week. But the 350Zs are over the place, However I see more Camaros, Challengers and Mustangs.

I went to school in El Paso and recently moved to DFW a couple months ago. You wouldn't believe how many 350Z's you see in El Paso. It's nothing like it in Dallas. This month's Cars and Coffee meet was a pretty good turn out. 3 Nismo 370Zs (Grey one was mine) and about 4-5 other 370Zs.

Yeah here in El Paso there are many 350Zs you see here when just running an errand. I'm one of them the 370Zs are finally popping up here and there...

I'm thinking the Red Z that I was seeing everyday on Fort Bliss was in the parking lot at the intersection of Hann Road & Jeb Stuart Road.

I see a metric ***-ton of 350's and G35's here in Dallas (downtown, East Dallas, etc.). I have seen only a handful of 370's too, and not on a very regular basis.

Does anyone know if there is a list of production numbers by year and color?
