Yes this is a also a major factor, but red does seem to attract a lot more attention then other colors. And thats not just on the Z, almost any sport car for that matter.

I think the nicest compliment was one that wasn't said. I was on the highway just this past weekend and was comfortably cruising at around 70 because of all the summer traffic. Some guy came along side me in a Maserati and reved it up like he wanted to race me. I didn't bite though with all the traffic. I'll take the looks of my 370Z any day but I'll have to admit that the Maserati sounded sweet when he reved it up. The fact that he recognized my Z as a sports car to reckon with was a compliment to me.

Best compliment for my 240z, guy left me a note on my windshield. That was first for me, glad I made someone's day.

For the 40th, I had some guy tell me, he was in love with my z. And that I made it his goal to own the exact same car someday... Reminds me of me 8 years ago and now I own my car.

Sweet. I like your combination of cars. It is somehow very familiar.

I had a friend who was king of the Z cars since the late seventies...Some of the best 240Z's you would ever see...A mechanical genius with everything and a Certified Nissan Mechanic..He was the guy you went to when you needed your Z repaired..

Sadly alcohol and meth took it's toll on him..Your 240Z's remind me of a better day long ago, when he ruled the Nissan world.

I haven't seen him in years.

One can be on that road to destruction all too easily. I was on it and in 2 weeks or so will be celebrating 12 years of not being on it.

What sweet cars to still have..I choose to have a Z/28, but a 240Z would be my next choice..
