i love this about the 370

Pauly · 04-08-2012, 09:01 AM

i spent easter weekend in shreveport, which is one of the three biggest cities in louisiana. i decided to take notice of how many 370's i would see while spending time here. back home, i have only seen 3 all year, not including my own. first let me say that i saw over 100 mustangs, literally. almost all the latest generation. gag. almost as many camaros, also new generation. lots of corvettes too. then i had a few smiles when i spotted a blue 350 in the neighborhood we were staying at. also ran across a custom shop, which had a (claimed) 500hp white 370, which looked nice, and spotted a z32 (purple, YUK!) but i love the 300zx! then i saw a 79 datsun with original paint in exellent shape! i snapped a photo but it will be forever before i can post. as for the 370??... ONE!! only one! i love that these cars are a rare sight, at least around here anyway. i bet on an average there are a ton more mustangs, camaros, etc than there are 370's. and as much as i love to salute the fellow 370 owners, i like having something different than everyone else!

She's still a rare car. I'm in lower Delaware for the weekend and as you said Mustangs, Camaros and 911's everywhere . The only 370 that I've seen all weekend is mine!
And everywhere we go people just seem to stop and look at the Z!

USMCASA · 04-08-2012, 09:26 AM

i saw a black Z yesterday on the way back from cars and coffee... though thats the first one in about 2-3 months i've seen. haven't seen another CY one in over 2 years in person.

Pauly · 04-08-2012, 10:16 AM

thats awesome. the CY is an eye catcher, wish they offered it for 2012. i see heads turn often, and mine is just plain, base, no mods.

nmjaxx9 · 04-08-2012, 11:25 AM

Yes even around my parts the 370 is quite rare

UNKNOWN_370 · 04-08-2012, 12:08 PM

Yup... even here in the DFW area where Z34's sell pretty well, I see a 370z about once every 2 to 3 weeks. I see a sport pkg Z once every 3-4 months. I can't believe how many people don't opt for the sprt pkg. For me the sprt pkg was the only MUST have.

There's quite a few 370Zs in Shreveport, myself and ImportConvert are up here, a friend of mine drives a Monterrey Blue one, some girl has a silver one across the street from me, I've seen a black one on base a lot, and then I see a red one fairly often. Are you still around?

Same here. Thought I'd see 1 or 2 each day driving around from the mid cities to Dallas, but it is rare to see one. I must admit it makes the car seem a bit exotic.

Montez · 04-08-2012, 12:59 PM

See 2 or 3 a day in the Uptown area of Dallas when i'm in town and 1 or 2 on my drive to DFW.

MyZ4U2C · 04-08-2012, 01:08 PM

This is something that also attracted me to this car is the rarity of seeing one, its nice to drive something that you dont see everywhere you go

Pauly · 04-08-2012, 01:57 PM

jordan,
yea im here for a couple more hours, wish i had more time, could have met up with some of yall. yea i bet there are more around here than back home, if i would spend more time here im sure they would surface. maybe on july 4th weekend if im not in metarie ill post for a get together? anyway, happy easter guys!

Nismo89 · 04-08-2012, 02:31 PM

im in Cecil County Maryland and the 370 is certainly a rarity. on even the NICEST day out, i may see one 370. two or three 350's

its rarity only adds to its appeal and its shock and awe. there just simply isnt alot of people buying them, as compared to the mustangs (yawn) , comaros (yawn) LOL jk

mhcoss · 04-08-2012, 02:36 PM

Thats partly why I chose it. I think i have seen one 370z since i moved to edmonton that wasn't mine

scottIN · 04-08-2012, 03:00 PM

I live in a town of about 16,000. I have the only 370Z or 350Z - I have seen one 300Z around town. It's weird to come out of the grocery or a restaurant & find people standing around your car staring at it. Like it's a Veyron or something. LOL! I can't count the number of times I've been asked what it is.

Cell · 04-08-2012, 03:05 PM

I have owned my car for 1.5 years. I have seen about 7 370z total since I bought mine. I have seen 1 before I bought mine. 1.5 years later, I have only seen 1 other nismo on the street and that was just recently. This is all living in the city of Chicago.
