I've noticed I get a lot more looks in the Z than in my Ridgeline. Especally from girls. Lots more smiles & waves when you're driving a red sports car vs. a pick up truck. And I get a lot of comments like 'Oh, I wouldn't park that on the street' & stuff. Heck, it was only $3,000 more than my Ridgeline and nobody said a word about being careful with my Ridgeline when it was new.

I've recieved nothing but compliments ever so often with this car. I think it has a lot to do with how you carry yourself. Also, it might be because I'm asian
I actually do see other 370z's around almost everyday, but to be fair, its usually the same ones. I always get a nod or wave from other 370 owners too.

I haven't gotten waves or nods from other 370z drivers, but then again I don't see
too many.

Here in the south side of okc there isnt very many 370's. Lots of 350's everybody and their cousin has one. So every now and then I get the " Is that your 350z" or "Is that your 300" its nice man. all i say Yea. I flash my lights and wave at all other Z's but then Im forced to stereotype them because they literally turn their face. they think they are big shots cause they drive a Z. Dont get me wrong its a very nice car and little above the average car. I like mine but I dont think im better than the other guy driving the 5-20 yr old Z. I just think here in OK the Drive around w/o insurance capital, sports cars are hated so they stereotype me as law breaking punk.
Police dont like my car cause of all the street racing that goes down. Now its felony if caught racing. The cops just stare at my car untill I turn or until they can see me anymore. They just waiting for me to do something cause they cant see thru cause i have 2.5% tint. "They be rolling, patroling trying to catch me riding dirty". So they automatically think im one of those illegal street racers. |

i get "judged" by the cops all the time. i get pulled over for "random" searches quite frequently, but the cop comes to the window, they are typically confused by the 5'7'' white male sitting in the drivers seat.
btw the pic is old and i have since blacked out the windows |
