How useable is the rear hatch area in a 370Z?

LakeShow · 04-13-2012, 12:57 AM

You can fit 3 dead Snooki's in the hatch.

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

Ok the mexican thing was all in fun. Let's not get over-stereotypical with the washing n grass cutting.

Maybe he can fit a bike rack on the multi-purpose Ducati. Lol. It is hot though.

I ride a 2010 Specialized Roubaix Expert and while I haven't tried, I really don't think it'd fit in my Z.

It fits just fine in my XTerra 4x4 Off-Road, though

I don't even have to take the wheels off!

The Z has a good amount of room... for a sports car. I have to remove the driver and fairway metals from my golf bag to get the bag in the hatch, and then lay them diagonally across the hatch (and they barely fit).

A case of wine will fit in the hatch pushed up towards the seats, but because of the slope of the rear glass, it's too tall to fit in the hatch closer to the rear of the car.

If I didn't have another vehicle to transport bigger stuff in, I probably would've bought an STI with a roof rack instead of the Z.

Nice Ducati, BTW. I ride a 2011 Speed Triple. Maybe I'll see you out on Palomar!

I don't understand some posters. They get on and ask a question. Then, when they don't like the answer, they just do what they wanted to do anyways.

Thanks, it is a 2012 Ducati Monster 1100 EVO. I've been up to Palomar on it a few times but I stopped going up there on the weekend because it just gets crazy up there. I bought the bike in June and have just under 6,000 miles on it already. It is my 3rd bike but my first Ducati. I freaking love it.

Nevermind. I don't mean to pick a fight or be argumentative. I'll just let this go.

Man I think if somebody saw this on your vehicle your car would probably get keyed, or possibly a nasty note left on your windshield. I would recommend just taking the effen bike apart (not entirely) to make it fit.

Hmmmm.......... NO. One should save himself the embarrassment, or the possibility of getting shanked (cut...knifed....just my opinion).

In all fairness someone at my work has a bicycle rack for their motor bike. It looks absolutely ridiculous but it works I guess.

wow, talk about digressing. the OP clearly asked whether or not a road bike could fit in the hatch of a 370z. it's a simple yes or no question. he wasn't being rhetorical. there's absolutely no reason to put any type of value-judgment on that question. he's not asking "should I," he's asking "could I". some people....

to the op: i don't own a 370z or a road bike, so I can't answer your question per se. but it seems like you've already figured it out. good luck with the purchase.

Yeah... and he got the answer in the first 3 posts. But your OP keeps pushing the topic so what's your real gripe? If he keeps pushing the topic he will keep getting answers.
