Never thought this would happen

NewlyIMPORTed · 08-28-2009, 06:23 PM

So i have a silver 370z, but my dad has a 2008 snakeskin green dodge viper with white stripes. So we go to dinner but we drive separately and park next to each other. well my entire family was at dinner and i was watching out the window of the restaurant and i see 3 guys walking over to my dads car. Not anything unusual so i continued to watch, then i realized not one of them had looked at the viper but all of them were inspecting my 370. so i got the whole family to look because it made my day, but im still wondering why they were looking at my car?

Obviously.

Not sure, but I have noted I get more stares and looks in the Z than I did my vette.

Are you really expecting us to have an accurate and trustworthy answer?

if not, then:

370z > everything but a GTR , thats why!

exactly...you will get more head turns to look at your car cuz its new...it looks abit different then the 350z but all the vipers pretty much look the same. I seen 3 vipers last night on won street...not many heads turning to look at that car but then i drove down the street in my 370z and alot of people looking at it.

I've had the 370 for a little over a week now and this has happened to me 3 times while driving: I will pass a car. The car that I pass races back up to me and paces me for a minute or so, and then falls back. I guess they just want to get a better look. LOL. It is a great looking car.

370z is new and fresh, Viper has been around the block already

When I see a viper, I'm like, oh, there's one of those again, that car where the door sills got so hot a magazine literally cooked breakfast on them. Wow, awesome engineering, if you like your calf meat cooked when you get out of the car.

LOL...I love when people try to pin poor "engineering" on American cars as a last ditch effort.

You forgot to mention the interior is not up to par with other $90K cars.

Last ditch effort to what exactly? Maybe you should take a look at the photos of my previous cars before you call me out as an american car basher.

Regardless, dismissing the engineering of one of the best performing cars money can buy because of the routing of the exhaust is laughable.

While you might not fit into the category if you insist, such a statement is directly in line with what a brainless "American car basher" would say.
