I went out late tonight to get some gas and to listen to my Borla TD exhaust in the cold air. I leave the gas station and came to an intersection. I just missed the light so I looked down to pick a good song from the 6 cd changer. A car pulls up besides me, I didn't look up, just noticed some black car at the corner of my eyes.

All of a sudden I hear it rev up it's engine. That woke me up. I looked over just in time to see a guy in the driver seat of a black Pontiac Sunfire and his girlfriend hitting him in the arm saying: "Are you nuts!? That's a 350Z!"
And him saying: "Okay, okay. Fine!"

I tried not to laugh or make a smirk as to not embarress him because I remember when I was a student and driving a Celebrity I drove off at a moderate speed and hoped they enjoyed my exhaust note as much as I did. I had the biggest smile on my face.

Lately, I've been noticing people knowing what a 350Z is. Not guys, but girls and little kids. Did I miss some new Knightrider show with the 350Z as Kit or something? The 350Z is pretty rare here in my city, so I'm always surprise when girls and little kids know that the car is a 350Z.

 

With only about 150,000 350Zs on the road, the car is unique everywhere.

 

only 150,000 spread that out evenly
thats 30,000 per state
that technically means every medium sized town has a Z

 

Jvanquish, I think you mean 3,000 per state.

Davidv, I just hear a lot of people (specially in socal) complaining that there are too many Z's now on the road, so I just assumed it's everywhere in the US.

 

MAJOR correction..... that's 3,000 per state. If NY has 6,000 then North Dakota gets none.

It's a rare car outside cities.

I love having a somewhat unique car and getting lots of looks. I'm all excited if I see a Z on the road, which is not very often. I've only seen about 5 Z's since I bought the car the end of August, and I drive 60 miles a day.

 

In Long Beach Cali, I See About 5 350z's In The Area...and 2 Roadsters...one Being Mine! Z's Are Rare, And I Usually Get At Least 3 Compliments A Day!

 

lol i'm sorry about my typographical error...
yeah especially like young guys drive around in it thats like so pimp...
like ... u know...
actually im being abstinent =\
...... not taking full advantage of my Zed

 

[B] Tjere was 3 in the parking lot of the company I work for a year ago - the others were a black and the blue roadster with the black top. The other two have disappeared. It is not unusual to see one when i go for a not too long drive around the city. The chrome silver seens to be the most popular color. I was driving down the stree about 8 blocks away one evening lately and another chrome silver came up beside . I was wondering what the peope behind us were thinking. I still love it - even though they are not so rare - although we were in the Colorado Springs, Denver area this spring for about12 days and didnt see another Z from the time we left home til we got back.

 

here in texas.....mustangs and camaros outnumber ppl

 

In Houston, Z aint rare, especially 350Z, its everywhere! urgh~

 

in texas bush supporters out number the supporters from all other states combined hahahaa....
;P

 

pontiac sunfire...hahaha....

i get so many ppl on POS sedans, trucks and suvs that are obviously way slower then a Z trying to race me from traffic lights..its funny...

 

Weird but last weekend I was going to a Z canyon run and my navigator with old data lead me to the wrong driveway direction. I saw another Z roadster in front of me pulling a U turn and so I followed him because he had Z hamburger badges and made eye contact and I assume he was going to the canyon run. First thing we saw in the driveway of a news stand was another roadster. So I thought for a second that was where the meet was at. He continues to drive. We pass by 2 other Z one blue and one red coupe. He keeps driving and parks on another row right next to another roadster. I asked if he was here for the meet. He said he wasn't and I was a bit embarassed. So I saw 4 roadsters in one shopping center. And for the two Z coupes that I passed by red and blue, the blue one was there for the canyon run but the red one wasn't. 2 black coupes showed up with a RWD corolla at the end. That was very strange.

Malibu has a lot of roadsters FYI.

 

here ppl let me go infront ... but only in my community.. outside it is a dangerous place...

 

man ive been seeing more and more 350z everyday here...and some more roadster emerging too. NOt unique anymore!

 

I see about 4 other Z's a day

 

Well, here in Aus 350Z are way outnumbered by Aussie Muscle cars (Fords, Holdens)

I Live in a place called Darwin, im the only one with a 05 Anniversary Edition Z, all together i think there are only about 4 here...

so yeah... i get alot of attention

 

as i was getting out of my z awhile back, a young girl, about 11, comes up and asks "is that a 350z?". i said "wow, you know a lot about cars". she said "no, i just like the 350z".
