I'm also in SoCal. I've gotten many miata drivers give a thumbs up. Every FRS passes me to make sure I see him, then slows down and stays either right next to me or right in front in the next lane. Then theres the Bimmer drivers. The other day there was a new turbo 335 that tried his hardest to get me to race on the 60. He first did the ricer fly-by, and 3 times he slowed down next to me and down shifted to take off before he realized I wasn't gonna play.

Just washed me car yesterday the weather was nice. I went cruising around town and I swear I was getting stares from everyone. I have a red Nismo and it was so cool to have so many people stare at my ride. At one stop sign some guy pulled up with a modded Civic. His girl was all over my car so I looked at her and she gave me a smile, when the lights turned green he spun his wheels and took off, made me laugh

Do some cosmetic mods and make it loud and people will stare. At least when I am in my Camaro they do.

I'm oblivious to what people are physically doing in their cars...I'm too paranoid about them Kamikazeing me from the other lane. I did have a couple of broads in a 350 yell at me on the Deegan once. A few ten-year-olds yelled at me on the street too..."good choice breh!!" Good times.

I've walked out of the grocery store to people taking pics of my car twice. Another time I was at starbucks drinking some coffee and a car pass by where my z is parked, slows down, rolls down window and takes a picture of my z. Other times I've seen people breaking their necks to looks at my car. So I guess it does get some attention. I live in socal.

I get it all the time. I like to think it's because of my good looks.

I would have to agree with you. I live in San Diego too, and no one ever looks at my 2012 GM Z, and I'm a pretty ugly guy. In fact, if they see me coming they either close their eyes or look the other way.

I get a lot more stares with my MKIV Supra than with my 370Z, I guess its just because you don't see many Supras.

Its because they see the Supra and go "2JZ... no sh1t" and know it will decimate all. After you overnight some parts from Japan.

After more than 3 years of ownership, my still showroom new red Z continues to draw stares and compliments when I drive it. In Western PA, these cars are still unusual, bordering on rare. I'm pleased and comfortable with it and enjoy answering peoples' questions about my Z.

I'll notice people glancing at it on the freeway and such, at least I think that's what they're doing.

I don't see a ton here in Phoenix (lots of 350's though), but we don't seem to get as much attention as others say they are, which is good and bad.

Dude -- you have the same name as the lead singer/bass player from Rush. I am not kidding. This is indeed an interesting coincidence.
