Z's a dying breed ?

SS_Firehawk · 12-08-2012, 12:06 PM

I see plenty of Z's right here. If the Z were dead, this forum would be too. For such a small car base, it's extremely active. Not only that, there is a healthy mod community as well. Granted there are certain aspects where that's dreadfully slow, but I don't think the Z is dying.

Though all I heard was you bjtching about people you don't know, only what you observed.

Honestly I like my z but can't wait to get out of this 3 year lease into a car that's lighter, i just feel the 370z is too heavy. I hope the 2015 changes are true so I can get into that, if not ill be looking elsewhere. I mean the car looks amazing and handles great but is lacking something for me.

I also have a Miata M Edition I've owned, from new, for 15 years (yea, yea, Miata door cracks will now follow)----and it is true that it's lighter and therefore also fun to drive in its own way. But the Z, while heavier and sometimes even making me feel like I'm driving a submarine, is gracefully powerful, drop dead gorgeous and wonderful, also in its own way. But, yes, I know what you mean.

What's a Z?

DarkJak · 12-08-2012, 03:41 PM

Compared to the 350z, the 370 didn't sell as many, so in that respect, it's dying out. It's also more expensive though. 350s were a sub30k car. Now the 370 is more sub40k, with the price going up every year it seems. If a car meet here in nashville has 10 350's, I might only see 3 370's including mine.

theboydiddy · 12-08-2012, 04:47 PM

Clearly I was speaking about NYC area since that's where I'm located.
How am I gonna talk about TX CA and etc... if I haven't even been there lol.
Maybe that's how the forum it's up and running (maybe) getting a lot support from other states. I'm happy to hear that there's Z's on the road out there.
In New York you don't really see them unless you go to L.I. I see 350s here and there. Very rare. And 370s from may to now ? .... I've only seen 3. And I attend car meets almost every Wednesday, Thursday and some Saturdays.
A lot people keep reenforcing the "it's winter time and sandy situation" but clearly they irrelevant since there was no "winter" and "sandy" from may all the way until first/second week of September.
But I understand everyone's opinion. And it does make sense. Specially the 70s being under $40k

Come down here. There's lots of action.

You dont see many Ferraris or Lambos neither, doesnt mean they are dying breeds

zmojo · 12-08-2012, 08:08 PM

Move out of NYS and you will a lot more of everything, its really New York State thats dieing a slow death.

tin47 · 12-08-2012, 08:20 PM

I personally dont really think they are dying out, granted I haven't been around in awhile, but last I remeber I see a good about of Zs. Even if you argue that they are a dying breed and your a see less and less Z out there, if you ask me I don't consider it a bad thing, I think of it more so thinning out the crowd for the true Z owners.

b1adesofcha0s · 12-08-2012, 08:19 PM

It's definitely the area. In MD/VA I see tons of 370Z's on a regular basis, at least one every week or two.

b1adesofcha0s · 12-08-2012, 08:25 PM

You also have to remember that they only make like 10k 370Z's per year so there aren't that many out there to begin with.

nmjaxx9 · 12-09-2012, 11:25 AM

theboydiddy · 12-09-2012, 11:47 AM

"Hibernating breed" LMFAO.

I didn't know only 10K are made yearly. That's nice !

When I go to meets and big events and still don't see any. Sometimes 2-3. I'd figured I'd see a lot of them but. Maybe like most of you guys said. It's New York.
