^ I'd like to hear more of the story

I know what you guys mean, but all in all, i don't see why this should really even bother you guys that they don't talk about cars or acknowledge another z.

My boy that rides tells me bikers always acknowledge each other on the road and that cool. Too bad there isn't more Z guys like that.
there's just too many 350Z's out and driven by normal folks. to them it's like me driving my HondaFit to the super market and someone in another Fit gives me a thumbs up. i'll be like huh? and probably like 10min later i'll figure out he was at my car. lol

i dont wave to 350z folks at all actually... unless it was modded and we see each other. i dont think i'd wave to another 370Z owner too unless it was modded.

Just a shame b/c well all I want to do is chat about the Z. I saw a guy who had a 350 and I decided to follow him since he was pulling into my sisters store, we get on a side road and he guns it, well its only a 45 and he turned into the parking lot anyway. So I pull up next to him it was in good shape had some nice rims on it and I said hey man nice car I really like your rims you have any engine work done? Response was a weird face and a huh? He went into my sister's store so I followed b/c I was going to talk to her anyway and we were the only ones in the store and my sister says what's up and I responded in a voice loud enough to hear me,"Apparently people can't take compliments anymore and just b/c they can stop on the gas they assume they are bad ***" Story get's worse but I don't want to jack the thread. Anyways yes I agree where is the love?
Fisticuffs? Gunplay?

I could say that 350Z guys know that their car is not as good as an older 300ZX tt, yet alone our 370's, but I don't think insulting these rude pole smokers is the way to go. Many families have a sub-par member, and the Z family does too in the way of the Z33.

At least they are not Z-31's. I thought the z was forever doomed when I say my first one back in '83.

This has been covered several times before. I almost never get a wave or complement from 350 guys (dont see many older Z's in my area) I almost always wave at the 350 guys, and I usally end up looking like a dork waving at no one or I get the cold shoulder. But while sitting at Buffalo Wild Wings one night with my girl a waiter noticed my Z hat I was wearing and started showing me millions of pictures of his 350 on his cell phone, it was pretty cool.

I agree with the 350z guys. They hate us for having a newer model z or something. I wave and I get no redponse. Well at least at our weekly meet the 350 guys r very very cool peeps.

This is true. But when ever Nissan gets a newer better model I will still wave at the guys with the "better" car ehh whatever

( Click to show/hide )
I will wave cause the second a new Z comes out I will trade up for it

I'm with you........75% of the owners could give a crap about the history of the Z etc, thats just reality. Also Wdkwang said not only Z33 but Z34 owners as well are ignoring him so we can't just say its Z33 owner etc etc..........

Maybe the other guys think the OP is hitting on them. He does have tendencies.
