Everyone stares at the 370z

GusGus91 · 03-13-2013, 02:42 AM

I've noticed people giving the Z more attention than my 08 STI got. Yet, there's not that many 370's here in Reno, and I'm pretty sure I'm the only yellow Z in town. I've had the car for a week and I've had at least 1 person every other day say something to me about the car. Pretty good feeling, yet kind of weird haha

Only had my Z for two weeks and notice that it does draw some attention. The day I bought it, I had a prior gen Audi S4 try to race me on the highway (as I was driving the speed limit in the far right lane). Last week, I drove it to the Toyota dealer to get some parts for my wife's car and all the salesman just watched me drive by.

I got my first compliment on the road. At the red light dude in a pretty clean SRT 4, said he liked my car.

I came out to my morgan with about 8 people crowded around it today at advance auto, at lowes I chatted with an elise owner for a while, and 2 other people stopped me in the parkinglot. Got stuck at a red light in the middle of town and had 3 people drive by and take pictures, even more gave thumbs up. No one cares about the Z.

While eating in Firehouse subs, this dude jumped out of his car and snapped photos. I thought it was so funny. This has happened on two occasions in the 10 months I've owned it. It's a cute lil car and attracts alot of attention around here because there just aren't very many. I have very dark tint though because sometimes you just wanna sit at the traffic light in peace and not be stared at or egged to race.

I've been attracting the wrong type of people staring at my z... Mainly cops wth stop tailing me! I'm driving speed limit and 2 cop cars following me for over 10 mins. So I pulled into my driveway and waved at them... I wish I could flip them off but just annoying.

You can. They can't arrest or detain you for it.

im in OC...they stare....but in LA nobody gaf lol

Tigger · 03-17-2013, 09:48 PM

The last time I was stared at like this is when I first bought my 2nd Gen TSX. It had only been out for a year already and there were literally none in my area. The 370 has been out for what, 4 1/2 years now? I've only had the car for 24 hours and I can say I've gotten looks at every damn stoplight on the two short drives I've taken. Crazy. Not used to the attention. Need tint. Now.

Crazy Baby · 03-17-2013, 10:42 PM

My 6yr old son asked me the other day.....Daddy, why is everybody looking at me like that? Then he shows me this face ....dropped jaw,wide open eyes...LOL....

Nobody really seems to car where I'm at, but on the rare occasions I drive my wife's car I get complement almost everywhere I go.
