I'm seeing allot of 370z owners are Asian? What have I done by buying this car? Joking, but I get compliments all the time.

I get most compliments when I'm parked... Imagine that :rofl2:
While I'm driving it's usually the "why is there such a gap between me and the car in front of me so they ridenmy @$$ in traffic" :shakes head: Typically on open roads it's follow the leader :driving: |
Many people want to race ...
I drive my Truck, no one hassles me.. I drive the 370Z, they tailgate, cut in front... Without going into detail, lets just say it makes me open it up and get the engine to the higher RPM's... The 370Z just loves to rev to redline and so do I... Yes today was follow the Leader for a few Imports that tried to get some....I gave them some....Then may be online trying to buy more power right now....They know now that they should think twice before poking at a 370Z.. They know it is really fast and it corners like it is on rails... |
Well interesting story, just got my Z a couple weeks ago and only have 400miles on the clock and breaking it in and taking it easy for now until 1,200miles. Anyways I was stopped at a red light minding my own business and all the sudden a blacked out 2012 Porsche 911 Turbo S with exhaust and his window down pulls up next to me. Light turns green and I'm not trying to do anything stupid but when I tell you this guy launched the sh*t out if his Turbo S and my god was he going so fast and ripping each gear. He definitely hit about 110mph from the dead stop and launch and he was gone. Interesting encounter.

In my 350Z there was only 3 cars that beat me...A Benz, A BMW, and a 911 Carrera.
I am sure that Turbo S was a sight to see... Other cars are easier to deal with, but certain BMW's, AMG's and 911's are pretty Hard to spank... Haven't tried them in the 370Z yet, but I know they are serious contenders... |
^^I will say, was in a little cat n mouse with a 2012 CLS63 and I was able to stay on his tail till about 105mph, I was very impressed with the Z and also completely stock. When you have the Z in the right RPM range it really pulls vs the lacking low end torque.

Today I did let the 370Z run to redline several times...No Wife in the car. When she is in the car I don't get over 4000 RPM. Only a couple of Imports not worth mentioning got spanked.. They thought that tailgating was a good idea, so I made sure to hammer the throttle and put an 1/8 of a mile between us... But they were a 240SX and some other Lexus. But one day I will see a Benz again, last time in the 350Z I just could not catch the S500. Glad to hear you stayed with the CL63. I did test drive a E55AMG once, and it was Insane ... |

We're good at math and know what to drive. I get compliments from all ages. The best one was a dude on his cane giving me a thumbs up and pointing at the car. Most of the issues I get are from a few guys in their Camaro's. |
Earlier this summer I was working the weekend shift and my boss was carpooling with me (he lives in the next housing development down from mine). It was about 730 pm and I was just cruising on the interstate on the way home when I had a some douche in a crossfire srt pull up next to me and then proceed to floor it. The thing that amazed me was even if I was provoked into racing him, all three lanes in front of us were packed with cars. He cut me off and then ended up using the median as a pasing lane and kicked up a ton of rocks onto the hood of my car. I was so pissed that my boss had to calm me down. Everytime I see the rock chips on my front bumper/hood it just reminds me of this and pisses me off again.

Not sure if it's the same with the 370, but I don't do that stupid stuff anymore. |

I haven't had many encounters surprisingly.
The only encounter I had was when I was stopped at a red light waiting for it to turn green about 2 weeks ago. A second gen Lexus GS pulled up next to me and wanted to cut in front of me. I already had one guy in a BMW pass me earlier in the day, no way I was letting it happen to me a second time. |
