A bike rack has no place on a 370. That's like an E92 M3 with a snowboard rack on it.

Ken you just make no sense... wiind drag, high cog? The Z isn't a sports car. Its a multi-purpose vehicle.

My wife's step-bro has a 350Z. You should see all the crap he carries around in the back of his car on a daily basis.

Here is the bike. I doubt it would change the COG of the car even if I was going to go with a roof rack. Not like I'd be racing around with a bike on the roof anyway.

All vehicles are multi-purpose. I use a motorcycle for commuting duty sometimes.

Hell, I've used this bicycle for commuting when I lived closer to work. A couple years ago I put more miles on that bike in one year than I did on my car.

My other bike.

Nice Ducati bike..... If ur looking to fit a bicycle in the trunk get a G37 bc it has more space & you can put the back seats down. I can care-a-less what will or will not fit in my truck of the Z. If I am going to put a lot of stuff in the truck, then I will use my Fusion.

+1. I have a 2012 altima to haul shyt. My 2011 Z is for straight up chillin'. But I also have loaded 200 smacks worth of groceries in my trunk and other things too. I can get 4 loaded duffel bags in there, an inflatable raft called the SS rio grande and 2 illegal mexicans stuffed up in there... lol.

Never tried a bike though...

Lol.

LMAO...... The Mexicans are to wash the rides first, then mow the grass/landscape.......lol. You can probably fit 2-3 duffle bags in the back, or 2 small suite cases.

WAIT is that the Ducati Monster..... Super EFFEN sweet. I love the monster.
