I like being a rare sighting on the road.
If I wanted to see my twin everywhere I went, I would have gotten a Mustang.

Looking at the sales figures over the past 3 years , there's only about 30 thousand of them in the US. That's about 600 per state. No surprise that we don't see too many. I traval to southern Delaware from central Jersey every weekend ( about 500 mi/ weekend ) and only see one or two 370s' during the whole time. Lots of 350s' though.

The dealer yesterday was saying there is a limited supply to the nissan dealers and they go to ones that sell the most z's. Combine that with summer and them going near immdeiately its hard to find one on the lot. He quoted me for a new one with the sports package at 34.

Maybe because last time I drove one I was all but set on a challenger I didn't notice what a car this is, but I was blown away yesterday. It pulls so hard and is so quick its amazing. What a car packed into that great looking body. I know you all know that very well, but I was just so taken by it. Challnger out, Z in and counting down.

Just repped you for using my newly coined term..... I have made Kenchan not only a name, but a verb..... he is now a legend, my friends :D

You know what's weird.... for a small town of 100k people, the number of Z's here are expanding. Used to be only 2 of us.... now there's about 6.

(still small, I know)

But I just love the exclusivity. When I see a guy in a new MB SL AMG looking at my car, I KNOW my car competes, even in the looks department ;)

:iagree:Couldn't agree more. Dime-a-dozen cars like the Mustang & Camero really don't float my boat.

This topic has been on my mind for awhile. I see more Aston Martins, Ferrari's, Lotus, everything, than 370's. The number of 911's I see every day is staggering. I think that in my local, Nissan is not enough of a fancy name. Hence all the big name brands.

TypeOne 07-08-2011 11:27 AM

Production numbers.

There is another thread on this site that shows the numbers of 370s compared to 350s... it's crazy. I think there was something like 6 times as many 350z sold in 2003 compared to 370s in 2009.

It boggles my mind, but I do see a few of them around my area. Definitely not as many GTRs.

I've made this response a few times to similar posts. The 350Z was produced during a time of financial over-leveraging, when everyone bought new cars they really couldn't afford, wrote checks they couldn't cash, using dodgy financing, often from cash back mortgages on new home purchases, helocs (2nd mortgages), etc. I do the same commute to work every day for the last 15 years, and about 5-8 years ago, just about every car on the road was a brand new bmw, corvette, 350Z, audi, etc. Nowadays I hardly ever see brand new cars, and not many of them are these luxury brands.

Essentially, people are not buying 370Zs because they are still paying for their 350Z, or whatever.

Now with the housing bubble (aka credit) gone bust, we are back to more normal times, and not many people can afford a $40k car all said and done. Not many at all. Many households that were 2 income are now 1 income. 40% of all mortgages owned by Americans are underwater, more like 90% of all mortgages on homes purchased between 2002-2007 during the housing bubble.

I saw a 370 yesterday for the the first time in months. It was a PS Nismo, on the back of a car carrier, and all the other cars were Nissans as well. Before that, it was a MB Nismo at the auto show in March.

Same time frame, I see a 350 about once every 10 days or so.

Slade 07-09-2011 08:32 PM

I can count on one hand the number of 370s that I would typically see in a week. I estimate there are four 370s in my hometown, my cousin owns a black one, and I have the only monterey blue in town.

370s are pretty rare in my area, but 350s are as common as Mustangs and Camaros around here.
