An Observation

onzedge · 01-26-2011, 10:58 AM

This is one of my random thoughts.
While driving up 880 (East Bay Area) from San Jose to Oakland last week, I was lucky and had a colleague with me so I was in the carpool lane. In the short trip (about 30 miles) I passed 3 2011 Mustangs -- all the same color of blue.
There is something to be said for and, in my opinion, gained by for driving a vehicle like ours that is rare to see. In fact, I have had mine for 10 months now and have seen about 10 total other 370's on the road.
Again, forgive my randomness here.

It depends on where you are. In m4a1mustang's part of town, he sees 2 Z's to every Mustang.

SPOHN · 01-26-2011, 11:17 AM

I guess were a rare breed. I love it. I like it that way. Thats another reason I'm drawn to the Z. Not a dime a dozen. Makes you feel different.

I live in San Diego, and although there are a few members here form SD I still rarely see any 370'z on the road. I like that!

fairladyZ34 · 01-26-2011, 11:31 AM

Yeah i missed that about my Z, i never see another one around esp. during winter right now. I see g37's a bit more but not as much as the new camaros.

ImportConvert · 01-26-2011, 11:59 AM

I see a few 370Z's, and a few 5.0 GT's. Neither are rare, but neither are on every street-corner yet.

GZ3 · 01-26-2011, 12:10 PM

production numbers are low, even lower than the 350z per corresponding year...i like it like this...

there are definatley areas where there is a concentration of enuthiasts though

kenchan · 01-26-2011, 12:12 PM

hey mustang- as like the saying goes, all you asians look alike!

Pelican170 · 01-26-2011, 12:27 PM

Nice! Its the same here in the northeast. You dont see too many. There are definately wayyyyyy more mustangs, challengers, camero's than Z's here...

That's only because he stalks all the guys with Z's in the area.

He better get Ventureshield for it or something, then.

EazyD · 01-26-2011, 01:16 PM

I've only seen two 370Zs on the roads, EVER, even though my commute is 40 mins each way.

ClemsonWill · 01-26-2011, 01:27 PM

I know there are a few in my area. But they are spread out. I may see one a week if that. I love having a car you don't see that often.

Sibze · 01-26-2011, 01:29 PM

I agree, I never see 370z's. Mustang's all the time. But again seem's to be the area...

I would love to know how many mustangs are sold per 370z
