No see my car is a 37... Oh never mind thanks
 
How man of you have a conversation that goes something like this:

Curious onlooker: "yo man that your car? Oh this thing is tight. I love these, my homeboy back in Georgia had one of these."

You: "yeah, I love it"

Curious: "yo man id kill to have one, they are my fav. I thought about getting one... Blah blah blah"

Yo: "yes, thanks, yes, ok"

Curious: "well good talking to you. Love your 350"

AND STOP

I don't mistaken my car on the slightest for a 350. But many many times vie had people think it was one. Sometimes I correct them, others I ignore out of simpathy.

Do you get this as well?

Why do I have the feeling the standard non-enthusiast finds this car to be just a newer version of the 350? Granted it's a progression of the Z but I don't feel I can compare my car to a 300 or a 270 so why the 350?

perhaps some of that is for some reason you feel your better than a 350z?

just remember, if it werent for the success of the "comeback" 350z there would be no 370z.

Gotta respect them. There are a ton of modified 350's out there that could whoop up on 90% of the cars on this forum if not more.

Just correct em. most people like the cars and respect them and thats why they are giving you props.. They dont know its a 370z most of the time. And some people, believe it or not, just know the "general shape" of cars and like em. Ive had many people who say they love my car but then couldnt point out a 350 vs a 370z in a lot.

I'm surprisee he didn't tell you:

"Yo, Is that you man?" lol

i've had "so you couldn't afford a 350 so you bought a 370?"
And "isn't a 370 just a poor mans 350?"

Um NO it's the new version, it's different in almost EVERY way...

wh1te370z 03-05-2011 10:49 PM

ive had my car mistaken for a lexus by my neighbor.... a lexus? really?

i get the 350 thing all the time. The best is when their friends correct them "no moron that a 370"

everybody should know that cars with bigger numbers on the badges are always better :)

someone said they loved my Cobalt when I pulled into the gas station in my GTR.

Who cares... you give me 2 different shots of tequila and i can't tell the difference, yet some others might think it's blasphemy. Everyone has their own interests and education.

You can't blame the general public for saying 350, just correct them that is a porsche and that its time for them to come home and sleep with you. Everyone wins then :)
