Why do I love my Z?

^ ewwww I hate J Lo.

On topic... The in your face sexy shape, the SRM, the handling, the Nismo Ti shift knob, the Rays forged rims, the pearl white paint, the looks I get on the road and in the parking lot, the Invidia CBE

Recently I drove from El Paso to Omaha and back and the first 370Z I saw the whole week was a blue one when we got back into El Paso.

I wanted a Z since I was a kid..........got one now. Funny thing is that there are quite a few Zs on base, but only a handful are 370Zs. A guy in my unit has an 08 NISMO. He keeps trying to convince me to upgrade my wheels so he can get the stockers, lol.

I loved my Z (and still love the Z) because of:

- Heritage. Like the Mustang, Corvette, Camaro, etc. the heritage of the Z can be traced back many decades. It has a lot of character.
- Styling... unique and distinctly "Z."
- Handling... I could get about 85% of the feel and performance of a Porsche Cayman S for over $20,000 less at the time I bought mine.

i've seen <12 on the road since they came out in '09.

the head turner aspect is by far my favorite part of owning this vehicle.

I love my Z for many reasons -- one of the biggest is that I never have to worry about that pesky extra cash laying around because she demands I use it on mods and upgrades (and gas).

Colbizle · 04-25-2011, 11:59 AM

Honestly... I have never seen a 370z in Minneapolis, St. Paul or even in the metro area and I drive all over. I've seen them at dealerships and I have seen 350z s but not a single 370z yet

Booger · 04-25-2011, 12:10 PM

It's so rare. I've seen six since november 2009!

Roy · 04-25-2011, 12:25 PM

I agree, rare is awesome. I've been asked if I was driving a Ferrari!

that is a little extreme.....

m4a1mustang · 04-25-2011, 01:33 PM

Yeah, just a little bit extreme.

Roy · 04-25-2011, 10:23 PM

I never said the people who asked were smart... but it did happen.

Rooskey · 04-25-2011, 10:47 PM

The reason I enjoy mine. I usually drive mine in the evenings, but on Easter Sunday I decided to drive the Z to church and to the ol family lunch and Easter egg hunt and noticed that so many people at every stop light took the time to look over just to see what it was. Im sure they would have been surprized to know that it cost less than 40g's and got 30 miles to the gallon. Kinda rare and very good styling!!!
