I like the fact that there's not much around where I live. But worry sometimes about the sales. I hate to know this car would come to an end again. I have to at least own one last one they I'll go all out on.
There's only three here where I live that I see. But I must be cooler than them for they never wave. I guess they hate on the modded guy.:icon17: |
I really don't care either way. I see a 370z in DFW around twice a week. I see sport packages maybe once a month except mine that I see every day. :)
All I wish for is people buy this car out of love of Z, skyline and Silvia heritage. Also all Nissan heritage and respect there cars. I hope buyers of the Z aren't a$$holes or elitists cuz a $40k doesn't carry enough pf a price tag to warrant elitist attitudes (like bmw owners). And I hope that Z owners and other sports car owners respect all sports cars cuz each car deserves its individual respect. There's no bad sport coupe out there right now. They all have there own good attributes. My pride doesn't make me not appreciate the enthusiast market as a whole. I'm just happy I own a Z. |

Oh yeah, and this too. I really want to see another generation. I'm fearful that this Z will be the last one for at least another decade. :( |
I wish there were a few more locally, but mainly so it would be easier to find aftermarket parts for sale.
I have only spotted one other 370 since I bought mine around a month ago. |
personsally, in my short time as a Z owner.... i find it it highly appealing to myself, knowing that My Z.... is the only one in town where i live.... whenever i drive it out....people all stop...stare....gawk.... because the Z....you dont see around here lol we just have the Civic Gang a McD's (the 'Cool' kid hang out for high schoolers) and kids just trying to act like their civic is the baddest on the block lmao
not to worry though lol, i silence them all when i roll by, amid stares and awes. shhhhh lil baby civic go to sleep "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" :wtf2: |
Nismo89, LOL.
Here in MN, since there's a winter season, there are mostly SUVs, pickups, AWD vehicles, but there's plenty of variety. Since I was never as passionate about cars til now, I haven't been paying much attention to what people are driving. I've seen the usual amount of Corvettes, Mustangs, Challengers, Camaros, a Viper or two. Not a crazy amount, less than 3 or so of those, so they're all rare to me. To be honest, I am a big fan of Transformers toys, and when the first movie came out, I was really interested in the 2010 Camaro (aka Bumblebee), but now, that appetite no longer exists. As far as the poll is concerned, I don't really care either way. Not alot of people can afford the 370Z. I still see plenty of cars (10+ years old) every day which means that buying anything more than a used car is out of alot of people's income. The only way to afford a 370Z is either you drop every penny you have into owning the car at an early age, you're rich, or you're older with a stable paying job to afford it. Of course I probably don't know what I'm saying either. :p |
i only want to see enough on the streets, so it justifies Nissan still making a Z car. I like that are hasn't been many around here, however winter is now over, and it sounds like a lot more have been sold in the past year then the privious one.
The main reason i bought mine was cause i didn't see them every where, like the Camaro i was going to get. |
There are very few verts in my area and I have never seen another BlackCherry vert. I think it's awesome. Already... you can't drive down the streed without seeing a 5.0 or two.

I have several fellow Stang/Cobra owners I talk to on a daily basis. Z owners are few and far between. I travel between San Angelo, Austin & Killeen (TX) all the time & honestly the Z is a rare car that gets plenty of attention, but just isn't bought as often as the rest of the sports cars. My reasoning for this isn't because the Z isn't an impressive car, but because it's an expensive 2 seater. It's not functional at all for a family & let's face it, the ones that would take a bullet to get one just aren't financially able to come up with 30k+ due to age or piss poor credit loans. Ether you don't have a family or your well off enough to have something else that's seats four lol.
Btw the 370z drivers I do see always shoot a wave at me. It's the 350z owners that always wanna prove they can still run lol |
I'd like to see a LOT more of them on the roads. Unless Nissan makes a lot more money on the Z, there may not be any more new Z's at all. Hard for the suits to justify production of a model with very limited demand.
For the same reason, I want them all to be sticks! Few remember that for the first few years of production the Audi TT was only available with a stick. Every time I saw one on the street I cheered, knowing there was another vote for cars with manual transmissions. |

More Z's means, like shado said, more people to talk shop with. Plus more demand for aftermarket parts = better competition and variety. But it also means, as the car gets older and available to lower income folks, the forum will probably go down the tubes. My co-worker's Cobra forum just rolled over 10 million posts with 100+K members - he says approximately 99% of the posts are useless these days. Less Z's keeps the illusion of exclusivity. And the forum stays cleaner. But fewer options and fewer people willing to take that first plunge into various aftermarket mods. I haven't had any 370s encountered while driving the Z (only seen parked ones) but look forward to first return wave. It's the wife's DD, so I have informed her of the proper etiquette if she encounters a fellow Z. Several 350s have ignored my wave, but in retrospect I shouldn't have expected a return wave after passing personal judgement on the driver. |
Def. better if there are less around. Mustangs are a dime a dozen.
The allure of the vehicle diminishes if they become too common. You start easily blend in with the crowd if you are seeing the same designs over and over again. |
I see at least a few Z's every day on a daily basis! I live in Sacramento. They are not nearly as common as mustangs but they are far from rare here.
