Favorite Minor Feature On Your Z

OldGuy · 07-05-2013, 11:42 AM

Now retired and "with too much time on my hands." So let me ask, "What's your favorite minor feature on your Z?" Mine is the "dance" the gauge needles do when the Z first starts. Gotten a lot of complements on those from passenger/guests.
If you don't care to comment, fine, but ridicule is not welcome.

Tail lights? Or is that too big?
I have the JDM ones and I LOVE them

Side view mirror -admiring the fat fenders. Sigh.

The fact that the speedometer reads up to 180 mph.

As silly as it may sound, that was one of the requirements of my purchase.

Is the 155 MPH electronic limit easily overridden? Anyone know what the true top speed is without the limiter?

I don't believe there is an electronic limiter. My understanding is the 370Z is aerodynamically drag limited to 156 mph.

Electronically limited to 155.

i like the screws on the engine under shroud. so many of them it makes it sound like im really working on my car when im just doing an oil change.

I actually love that the side markers blink with the turn signals.

Wow? Really? You'd think they'd do all the models in the "world ready" approach. Do they sell the G in Europe?

Another favorite is i love how the gauges move with the steering wheel so there is never an obstructed view of the gauges.

Another favorite... I think the illuminated kick plates make the Z look classy. And i like how every other sub-premium brand went crazy copying this feature from the Z after media reaction to them in late 2008. Nissan does a lot of small cool things first.
