Now Cameros around here seem to be be over flooded. I swear I see one every 10 minutes. It's unbelievable. It's like Honda civics.

I have a confession to make so don't flame me. I knew nothing about the Z or it's history. So i bought the car solely on it's drop dead good looks. I mean i have owned 2 seat sports cars in the past 3 vettes. The Z still thrills every time. Camaros and stangs are becoming a dime a dozen on every corner.

Where i live you will see 09 even 2010 camaros and mustangs for sale on used car lots. That should say something.

The Z is a special car. People still stop and stare at it. Sorry if my tongue's hanging out.........:driving:

One of the things I miss driving the Z is having a rare car :D

But there's still only a few 370Z's in town.

I can count on one hand the number of 370s I've seen in the 7 months I've owned the car. There's only one other 370 in town that I know of, a black one owned by my cousin.

I have a good one for ya. My neighbor(not next door, but close enough) got a 370 about 6 months after mine. Bought it from the same place, same color, and I remembered it. I told him exactly where it was sitting on the lot, roughly how many miles it had on it, and the options it had on the inside. Yep, I test drove it before I got mine haha. It was another 2009 leftover from Hunt Nissan in Chattanooga, TN(base model). I thought it was funny. I was like yeah buddy, you tried to copy me, but sadly you still got my leftovers that I didn't want. haha

I see 15 Mustang, 20 Camaros and 10 Challengers for every 370Z im my area. That is if I see a 370Z that day.

jpritche 01-27-2011 08:33 AM

I am from a small town, with not many people. There are like 2 camaros around, 3 challengers(Gf's dad & uncle are 2 of them), and the only 5.0 I see are still on the car lot.

And I have a 370z, and so does that other dude that bought the one I test drove.

Premo34WV 01-27-2011 10:22 AM

Yeah ive only seen a few 370's around here in WV. When I do its always passing me in the opposite direction on the interstate. More and more 350's popping up now they're used and affordable. Usualy give AND get a head nod or wave when i pass those.
The new camaro...different story. They're everywhere. I do like the looks of them, but I couldn't stand it if I had a car that is supposed to be a head-turner and i'd have to turn my head to see one pass me every other mile.

i dont know much about the Z's heritage either...i got her because she's a great looking car, smaller than the 350z, more power, lighter, nice interior, etc and it appeared very capable for street via bestmotoring vids. :tup:

my other choice was a new S2000CR and i was about to get that until i decided to give the 370z a quick test drive. :tup:

and im real happy i dont see other z's in my area. i think i bought a 2seater exactly at the right time while economy is tanking and 2 seaters are a luxury than anything else.

I've been spotting 370's pretty frequently here in Los Angeles.
But this is a big car enthusiast city.

Don't race him. :D

kenchan 01-27-2011 03:15 PM

:confused: still looks the same. :icon17:

oleg 01-27-2011 03:29 PM

I've only seen 2 370Zs since they cameout, but at my high school we have 5 mustangs of which 2 are identical

wilsonp 01-27-2011 05:24 PM

I like the new front on the Mustang 5.0, but don't think the new back is an improvement. Of course, in black it may not be as striking on the front.

Still think the Mustang concept had the best front/hood.

whoady4shoady 01-27-2011 05:48 PM

The 2010s and the 5.0 still look the same, which wouldnt be that big of a deal if it actually looked decent. It looks super generic in every way. The new boss looks a little better, but still. The new GT 500 on the other hand looks pretty nice.
