Nissan 370Z Forum  

Everyone stares at the 370z

Where I live you never see 370Z's... I like having a car that you do not see many of... I see plenty of 350Z's, Prius, Chrysler 300's and Mustangs...But rarely

Benz drivers in SoCal I think are all half in the grave or something-they are always the slowest on the road. The SLK's sort of look like big coffins if you think about it. Why buy a $95K car and then go 40 mph, why? Every Prius owner here though will have no problem proving to you how fast their car is on the 405.

Actually lately with everyone and their mom leasing a C250 or C300 benz people are driving fast as hell trying to get on the performance tip. Sometimes i have to tell them to slow the hell down you aint got an AMG..

People stare. Had it in my 350 and knew it would happen in the 370. The 370 is a pretty rare car. I see maybe one or two a month. That's why I got some dark tints. Much more privacy.

But yes Jungle everyone in a Merc or Beamer thinking its an AMG or an M...

i know exactly how that is, i am always seeing people stare at my car when i drive through town, parking lot, the city, the highways

i like the attention because it feeds my ego but i also hate it because i know if normal people notice me, cops notice me even more

Yes sir. Cops do notice. They do double takes. Motorcycle cops, bicycle cops, CHP, Sherrifs, under cover cops, you name it. Seen it happen while at Staples Center and on the freeways (or interstate depending on what part of the country you are at).

The 2013 BMW M6 driver just started his membership at my gym Sunday.
Its so nice not to drive the hardest thing in the parking lot.
Now the teenagers on their bicycles gravitate to his car instead of mine

My car seems to get more looks, stares, and points at from younger people/children than anyone else.

Kids definitely love the Z

Passed by a few DayCamp groups on my way back to the office and the ohhs and ahh's from the kids, priceless.

If ever I need a pick me up or ego stroked taking the Z around the block will do it. Easily I get a few thumbs up, head turns or people throwing a nice comment my way.

On another thread you mentioned you like the looks of the 09-12 better than your 13. Hope you're liking the looks of your 13 better now!

So true, kids & teens love the Z. I was pleasantly surprised yesterday when a pretty young lady (late 20's early 30's) looking at my car, then looked up and smiled at me when I slowly approached the intersection she was crossing. Guess I reminded her of her dad
