Is that a Z? No it's a Porsche
 

Just a random thought I am throwing out there. When my wife first took the Z to work, someone asked her if it was a Porsche. I just laughed it off. Well we were just on vacation and a Porsche drove by and my wife (who knows about cars) says, "is that a Z?". Im like, NO WAY, THATS A PORSCHE.
Well, the girl in the passenger side of the Porsche was checking out my car as they passed, and I gotta feeling she said to her significant other; "is that a Porsche?"

I know a lot of us get upset when people ask, if our cars are a 350, or 370, or some other random car. How would you feel driving in a $100,000 or more Porsche and someone ask you if that was your Nissan.....
It just made me laugh thinking about it, and I am sure it happens

If that was me all I'd say is they're ignorant and just don't know and then move on. Won't get my banana all twirled up.

This is the common question. Very oddly I was asked that about my Jag E type by a young lady. She thought it complementary.

When ever i talk to cayman owner's 3 out of 5 always say i almost bought a 370z before this thing and i reply i almost got a cayman before i looked at the insurance difference between the two. I love porsche's but my pockets aren't that deep for the maintenance and insurance.

Take the Z and pocket the difference. Big differences in annual depreciation, costs of maintenance and repair, insurance, etc. all make the 370Z the hands down "better value" choice. No contest for most consumers. Of course, if you're a Porsche fan, well then it's a different story. Not for me, though.

I think its the wide rear that throws people off. Porsche has been doing it for so many years (older 911 Carreras etc) that people see the Z34 and immediately think Porsche) I know I always loved the wide hips of the old Porsches and that was a big part of the visual appeal of the Z for me.

Yeah I like birthing....errrr I mean wide hips too.

As to the OP's question. Nah no insult, like axmea? says, just ignorance.

Take off the hamburgers if you really want to confuzzle people!

:wtf2:

:icon18:

got into a minor fender bender a year ago or so, and the guy is calling his wife as he gets out of his car saying "omg I just crashed into a porsche!"

My female friend said my z looked like a Porsche because it looked so "aggressive." I told her Nissans beat Porsches and I don't take it personally

regardless they thought it's a Ferrari or Porsche or Prius...

I don't like it...

cos it's a Z...!!! IT'S A Fairlady Z

I buy it because it is a Fairlady Z...!!


:icon17:

YES!! that butt sold me from the start!

LOL

I took my Z to a random shop couple days ago due to an emergency. They only had like beat up cars at the shop, like old hondas and trucks etc.
The mechanics were like " damnn that is a sick a*ss fuc*king car" etc

The owner, however, when doing the paper work said, "so that's a 350 right?" >.<
They can call it what ever they want, but I CANT STAND WHEN THEY THINK ITS A 350!

Same brand, next gen, but huge difference!!!

This girl thought it was an Infinity one time..LOL.

Or worse, this cop thought it was an FRS once..like how????

Everyone thinks I drive a Porsche and asks.

What really pissed me off was I told a girl I bought a 370z. She said whats that? Another girl said its just like my car. She drives a ******* nissan 2dr Altima and I don't even think it was the v6.
