Is that a Z? No it's a Porsche

Verbal21 · 11-30-2013, 10:29 AM

The Z's are pretty rare in my area and I've been asked twice if it was a Porche. I can see how someone who has no interest in cars can be mistaken though, my wife pointed out a Porche and asked if it was a Z like mine and its a recurring joke with her to ask whenever she sees one.

I love the free space behind the passenger seat!

I, for one, don't. I think Porsches are ugly. I think the only resemblance between the two is the big rear end.

i have had a couple people think my Z was a porsche, i cant blame them either, the 370z does have similar lines to a porsche

Was at a Walgreens last night. A late 80's model 944 was outside and the owner was at the redbox getting a movie. As I walked by I told him he had a nice 300Z. I got the dirtiest look, then he laughed at me when I got in my Z.

My girlfriend was like why did he look at you like that. Too difficult to explain, so I told her it was a misunderstanding and that's why he laughed at me.

Sorry, but you better check that figure. It's $48k+. And since the 2014's have dropped in price - the MSRP is $46,328. That's Sport with navi.

I just got a best price quote from one of our dealers for $42,328.

I don't understand why he laughed.

Parts too are a lot cheaper.

That's because you are in Europe and the lower shipping costs make everything cheaper then here.
