i dont care if you drive a Z or a pinto. when you get a reaction like that from someone, you get a boost. despite age. The Z is just awesome. just.... just.... awesome...

DUDE!!!! That must've been the daughter of the girl that did it to me when I was driving my tricked out Pinto back in the 70's! I hope she was better looking than her Mom!

Damn i don't know where you guys live but in San Gabriel Valley of california, no one even cares about my Z lol. I think down here its all about m3's A5's, 335i's, S5's and above.

I get occasional looks but thats it, its never like OMG OMG i need to take a damn picture type of reaction.

*There aren't very many either, I hardly see any 370z's but 350's are everywhere*

Congratulations!
Not a fan of those rims but that is a beautiful ride, even though I am not a domestics guy.
Still respect engineering!
Enjoy and visit often!

I was all set to get a second 370 for a daily driver, but after test driving the 5.0, I found it was way more comfy than the Z. If I had to choose one or the other, I would probably pick the Z, but fortunately, I can have both.

could've been ! haha, i was just waiting in line at Rita's waiting to order and...up pulls the truck, and WHAM! that door flew open so fast , im sure there was some sort of Whiplash. lol jump down and run, literally run, over to it and snap the photo's then get into line behind me.....its reactions like that, that are just not just rewarding but flat out hilarious. didnt expect that at all :P .... hey id take that anyday over power! lol

has anyone had the pleasure of being behind a boss 302 I think everyone would agree that that is definitly a dedicated track car in its own right( live rear axle and all it and aparently stock mustangs with track pack can hang with the M3 thats respectable) I am in a dilema with what I want to buy in about a year looking at used gt500s, STis, 370z, and c5 vettes and even maybe a 5.0s

Well with all these new cars in the market, Nissan needs to step up there game on the Z division.

Turbo please or more power...

LinPark · 06-25-2012, 10:47 AM

Heck Yeah! I say we skip straight to the 560Z by lengthening the hood a bit and drop that Titan 5.6L V8 in there and supercharge it!

JvKintheUSA · 06-25-2012, 10:52 AM

Just put the GT-R engine in the Z and you're all set.
