Where are all the 370s?
 
I know they are out there, but how come I barely see any 370s out and about on the road?

That is a positive and why I really like the Z but just curious after everybody had a 350.

Rone 07-07-2011 04:58 PM

All the 350 guys are waiting for the TT version.

Fastfatdude 07-07-2011 08:04 PM

i see GTRs on the road everyday but i dun even see 1 370Z in a week.. unless i go for a meetup....

PapoZalsa 07-07-2011 08:29 PM

sonic370 07-07-2011 08:54 PM

I am in the same boat as you. I have seen more GTRs than 370s in the past few months.

It is a good thing, thats what I like about the Z. BTW went on a test drive again, the Challenger has been officially kicked to the curb. This car is too much to pass up. Forget not having trunk space and a back seat. This car is legit.

I had cross shopped between the Z, Mustang, Challenger and Camaro, and I felt the same way. The Challenger felt like a boat

Passed by a hot blonde milf driving another Monterey Blue Z 2x this weekend! The first time I was in my wife's Xterra..but the second I was kenchaning my Z through the neighborhood, and there she was!

Her jaw went :eek2: and then gave me a huge :D. I gave her a wave and continued on.

She wants me!:tup:

You sound just like an Infinity G owner.:roflpuke2:

edub370 07-07-2011 10:14 PM

i was just talking about this to a buddy the other day. i prolly see 30 350's to every 1 370 i see... i too thought this was odd...

Skeeterbop 07-07-2011 11:50 PM

Heck, I see atleast 5 350s every day around post. That isn't counting the 3 that arein the parking lot in front of the barracks i live in. But the only 370 I see on post or around town is mine.

Fastfatdude 07-08-2011 02:57 AM

maybe with this environmental conscious world, people tend to gravitate towards more hybrids like Prius and no more politically correct to be driving a 3.7ltr car?

in singapore, where road tax is pegged to the capacity, its only natural that 370zs are not common...

The Challenger is for sure a bigger car and a bit looser but it is still a very nice ride and I still love the look and engine. Starting to see more Challengers on the road around here. The Z I think has a bigger fun potential. Let the search begin!:happydance:

SPOHN 07-08-2011 06:48 AM

I saw six at the dealership. They still wont come off the prices of the 2010 models when there are 11's sitting right there.

LunaZ 07-08-2011 06:58 AM

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.

:iagree: or Camaro and Challenger!

DrEvil 07-08-2011 07:58 AM

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.

yaheard 07-08-2011 09:16 AM

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.

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.

BrianMSmith 07-08-2011 08:18 PM

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.

You know...I've been thinking about getting one..but I've got so much other stuff I want to spend my money on you know?:tup::ugh2::icon17:

Ish 07-09-2011 06:47 PM

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.

oleg 07-09-2011 08:44 PM

Was at a NASA event today and not a single person except for me with a 370z. It felt good to see my car being checked out by people with 100k+ cars

UNKNOWN_370 07-09-2011 10:12 PM

My dealer told me today, the m blue sprt that I wanted was already sold in the state and they couldn't acquire it unless they get one out of state for me, but they have a silver one like the one I had. After having my first accident ever in the silver car. I'm getting concerned getting another silver may cause bad karma... I dunno??? I really hate the car buying process foor the Z. The two good thing about camaros and mustangs. They always have the pkg you like available and negotiating is a lot easier. I just don't care to own a muscle car over JDM. I find JDM to be way more fun to drive.

Waiz 07-09-2011 10:27 PM

SoCal must have the most 370's, I see at least 2-3 a day.

mikeSS 07-10-2011 01:02 AM

it comes down to your area, in MI i rarely see 370z on the road. (car meets do not count)

happytheman 07-10-2011 08:19 AM

I Prob see three a week here in Daytona. There's a red one that's always over at Publix (southern grocery store for you otherners). It's nice actually, because of the exclusivity. Our car is remaining unique! :tup:

lochness 07-10-2011 08:43 AM

I see a couple during the week while I drive to work. I drove to Atlanta this week and didn't see any 370s. There were a few 350s. I haven't seen a 370 in a week now (including mine) which makes me sad.

Nismoracer 07-10-2011 09:54 AM

I don't see one on a daily or weekly basis of any kind. For the $$$ ppl are prob buying mustangs cameros and challengers

tanamerra 07-11-2011 08:55 AM

Have only seen 1 370Z here in Delaware for the past year and no Nismos yet.
