I will agree that I never get any stares driving around when I'm in Charlotte. When I go to Raleigh though I get thumbs up.

I never get thumbs up (even from other Z owners when I wave). Last time I was in Raleigh NC I had someone in a Z33 and someone in a S30 give me a thumbs. I'm happy with that, I didn't get this car to be flashy.

OP -- I'm from SoCal and can relate. I've noticed drivers lurk around when on the fwy. The other day, some random dude took photos while I was eating a sandwich where I can see him. Let's face it, it may not be over the top on the price range but it is a nice car. You just do not see a lot of it on the street --- maybe because a few are on the tracks

What kind of sandwich?

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.

HArturo319 · 02-12-2013, 10:48 PM

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.
