one of my friends told me its "a poor mans sports car".

I carefully considered this purchase after driving a bmw/audi/corvette etc..

I realize that the Z is an affordable(I say this even though I just spent 800 dollars on tires), exciting, and exhilarating car. My pride was possibly hurt for a second, but on the way home i put the windows down and just enjoyed the exhaust note.

all is forgotten.....

The Z is not a "chick car".

If you do a quick look at the members' list, or show up to a couple car meets, you'll see this car's buyer population is as "sausage fest" as it gets.

Does that make you feel better or worse about your purchase decision?

Gotta tell you what he said does not make me feel any differently about my purchase. Just kind of caught me off guard when a good friend that drives a base model explorer has the nerve to crack on my purchase of a sports car. Oh I forgot to say in the beginning also he is 6 foot 4 and weighs about 350 so maybe because he can't fit in it maybe he is a little salty!!
I know the next time I ride in his explorer I will ask where all the options are and if he had to pay extra for the turn signals.

He's a friend so I think you need to give him the benefit of the doubt. He was just yanking your chain... pushing your buttons. You should come out to one of our meets in MD or Nova (see the two links in my sig) and see how much sh!t we talk to each other.

Had a kind of similar situation happen with me. Me and one of my friends were going back and forth about the next car we were going to buy for months. I wanted to buy the Z and he wanted a 335i. He kept talking all this sh1t about how the Z is just a Nissan and the BMW was way better. He got really jealous when I got my Z and he got nothing. His little brother got a 350Z and he starting talking sh1t about how it was so much better and faster than the 370Z. To shut him up, I challenged him to a race at the drag strip. He wasn't even going to drive it himself, he was gonna have his little brother drive it for him. The night before he made up some excuse about his car needing to be repaired and backed out. The next day, I set the 2nd fastest stock 1/4 mile time in the 370Z

He still likes to talk sh1t about my car, but now it's only as a joke.

The Z is not a girls car. If anything I always see chicks driving a majority of 335's, Porsche Caymans/Carreras, Mercedes, Infiniti's, Mustangs, etc. Girls drive every car so that makes no sense and the Z is not one where girls are a majority. Your friend is a definition of a hater. That comment was unecessary being you just bought the car and that's not something you say. He probably drives a P.O.S. You shouldn't worry but actually laugh because he actually likes your car and mad he doesnt have one and probably not close to having one. When you get something nice, people start to talk.

yea way more chick's drives 335's than 370z's. I mean even if a lot of chicks drive the car you have, whatever. Theres a difference between a car that a lot of girls drive, than a girl car. A pink beetle is a girls car. RSX is a girls car. Jetta is a girls car. Z's not so much.

Well everyone is entitled to their opinion, no matter how wrong it is. If the z is such a chick car, then why dont you see more girls driving them? I know i have never seen a girl driving a Z... Also just stick it out man, there is more to life then letting ford explorer driving people with car opinions get you down... My friends give me **** 24/7 about my car, they talk nothing but sh*t about it... Its lame i know, but one day i realized the car makes me happy and nothing anyone can say about will change that. Not to mention i can leave them in the dust at ease. Take him for a spin in it, get the car going sideways and scare the piss out of him. Then politely ask him if he still thinks its a girl car... The one friend i took for a ride that taked so much trash doesn't talk anymore.... period ;-)
