Everyone stares at the 370z

Dystopia

I've had my Z (Zora) for about two weeks now. The day I picked her up I stopped to grab some food with my brother and there was a group of young kids riding bikes around the parking lot. As I pulled into a parking spot one of the kids was like "OH MY GOD! I WANT THAT CAR!!!" We both laughed but it was kind of a cool moment for me. It's not like the car is a 458 Italia or anything but it made me realize how lucky I am.

I have had PLENTY of looks but I live in a very rural town that is not affluent by any means.

The other day I stopped at my local liquor store and this middle aged couple pulled up in a newer Malibu next to me and just stared at the car. The dude driving gets out of the car and he is at least 6'3" 230 and then his MILF of a wife walks by and is checking it out. I go inside shortly after and they both were very nice and complimented the car. The husband makes a remark about probably not being able to fit in it and I agreed with him!

I agree with some of the posts in this thread. In some areas it is almost embarrassing that people think the car is some high priced exotic.

Last weekend I was @ a night tuner meet where there were a bunch of wankers. One group in particular was the saddest of them all, their fastest car was a mazda 3.

A guy from the group walked over to me and asked me to run them. I was like nah im good. Then they kept insiting, I was like nah im str8. I told them, you guys do you I do me, not interested in running it with you or your peeps. But him and his group kept insisting.

I was like "You wont win, give up!"

But I did thank em for the compliment they gave me when they were drooling over my car.

I wouldn't say embarrassing because it's a Nissan, just shows how Nissan continues to improve on an iconic sports car which most car manufacturers lose their way in their product line while it's in production. When people stop looking at cars for the price tag and name (let's not forget Z's have never been the cheapest sports car available) , they will truly see the point Nissan has been making since the Z and the GT-R were created, which is improve on every aspect of the car, not just keeping up with inflation and adding a nice parachute size premium on each unit you sell (which Nissan has done brilliantly with the Z and the GT-R, the packages available for the price can't be beat, and reliability you can count on). To each his own though. This is all coming from a guy whose been a fan of Nissan since i was 7, I like other supercar and sports car companies too, just don't understand how they can be so much higher for not much if any more performance and reliability (reliabilty in itself in the sports car and supercar market can't even come close to Nissan)? A perfect balanced package is what i'm looking for when purchasing a supercar or sports car, and one that's mod friendly for the light one's i want to do.

I always get the stares when I get out of the Z of " How the hell do I fit in the car?" When they ask I tell them, "like a glove." I am 6'4" and my knee is right on the dash right where the start button is. I wish they didn't make that part of the dash drop down. If I was any taller I would not of been able to buy the Z.

You still have an inch and a quarter at least... over 6'5" here. 1st time I test drove it a thought I was too tall. I went back and adjust the seat down and took it for a test drive. Better fit than my 69 vette but not as good as my 71 240z.

I never get anyone hating on the Z. Except for the occasional *** that doesn't like me getting in front of them. That wouldn't matter what car I'm driving.

Driving my Tacoma yesterday and got in front of an idiot leaving a huge gap in stop and go traffic. Had about 4 car lengths of a gap when I changed lanes. Thought he was going to blow a gasket the way his arms where flailing around, facial expressions and flipping me off. LOL Must of been a postal worker.

I would say that is about right. There is just enough room where my right knee doesnt touch the dash.
