Mileage? I do not ever think about it.

I would have joined the glassy-eyed, brain-washed, tree-hugging, self-important, holier-than-thou, entitled, dime-a-dozen masses called Prius owners if I cared about mileage.

It is a Z -- say no more.

Wait until they come out with the "track" prius...

They install a fart can, 200 pounds of spoilers, and a Solyndra sticker...

I love the power and acceleration you feel going through the gears (M/T), the looks of the 370Z even more than the 350Z, Chicane Yellow, the interior especially the color of the guage numbers and needles, and the Bose stereo. Care to add yours?
I have a pearl white and I cannot believe the number of people that stop to complement me on this car! Its really incredible! Its a hell of an ego trip!!


I like the feeling of being able to literally think what I want the car to do and it will do it...Climbing, twisting and turning..feeling wind in my face, hearing the growl of the engine and the surge of power.....Yup, its better than sex! plus I get to enjoy it a lot more often!

Pearl White is a beautiful color..I had the PW 350Z and loved it, but we needed a change and went to Black.

But the PW 370Z is awesome...

I love everything about Vanity, the color was even more amazing after a full detail! Waiting 7 months for her to be built, was well worth it, and i was just happy Japan wasn't wiped off the map after the tsunami . Also, the Mods i meticulously chose are absolutely perfect for what i wanted to do to make my 370Z perfect for me, I truly have the car of my dreams!

It is almost as much fun to drive as the 240, but my definition of "fun" is a bit different than most folks.

It puts me back to that 280Z feeling. It is wonderful.

Good for you...I get that mileage in my Z/28 IF I keep my foot out of it...

If I jump on it, it is more like Gallons per Mile....

I don't even have mine yet and I'm ordering stuff for it LOL. A work friend took me for a ride in his 2011 Charger with the 5.7 Hemi and since then I knew it was time for me to get something since I've never owned a car with any sort of performance, it was bikes for me in the speed department. It was down to a 2012 Mustang 5.0, Subaru WRX, Camaro or the Z. The Z always stood out for its own reasons, not the fastest, not the best handling but overall value at doing all things well and its extreme good looks decided it for me. And the fact they are not on every corner. My red 2012 Z with sport package should be here to me this week. If it isn't, then I'll get my deposit back and wait for the 2013's.

I like the feeling/sound of Nissan's V6 as it changes gears. Great torque while making some vibrations . .
