370z Driving Feel

Unknown's post is dangerously close to blasphemy (or treason).

It is a Z, warts and all.

Are there better and more powerful alternatives to the Z? Absolutely.
Are those alternatives as great in terms of value? I think not. Paying $500/oil change and repairs that were high enough to be a fraction of the price of the Z got old after a few years, so Z for the win to me for a long time.

As far as the low sales numbers, I would attribute it more so on the current economic environment, the other cars you vaguely referred to have functional rear seats. Honestly, I don't mind enjoying the scarcity of the Z while it lasts, the current gen is going on 3 years but it's still fairly scarce to come by one on the road.

The unanimity of less than 10K cars imported, even for the last 3 years makes them kind-of scarce, a certain type of unique value is bestowed

I don't know, the majority of his posts are way out there. That's all I'm saying ... bipolar tendencies sometimes

Great for us, bad for their marketing team. I def see more awe reaction to the Z driving by vs let's say the M3 though the M3 is a lot more expensive.

That's because to the average "non-car-guy", the M3 doesn't look any different than any of the other ten zillion BMW 3 Series passing by... so it's un-impressive or "nothing special" to them.
The 370Z's shape is immediately eye-catching. It's swoopy, sleek and muscular all at the same time. It has a long(ish) hood, 2 doors and and raked windshield. Most of the "non-car-guy" people don't even know what kind of car it is, so they think it must be something super rare and expensive. It looks exotic and definitely turns heads.

The Sparco EVO2 "Plus" racing seat, which is the larger version of the EVO2, used to be called the "America" model. Their polite way of calling Americans fat-asses!
