No but 17 year olds do post regularly. Posts generally begin with:

"My dad has a 350Z, and he would like to know…"

"I got a buddy who…"

and "Which would win a race? A 350Z or a Corvette with cool looking wheels?"

Sorry, but when was the 350 ever exclusive. Great car for the money, but somewhat of a dime a dozen.

Anybody have a link to a website with info about 350Z's in the new FnF? And at least you can't find the Z as cheap as some of the cars made popular by FnF...which will keep out some of the annoying ricers heading our way...hopefully.

What ever color you choose, make sure it matches the "Powered by Nissan" sticker on the windshield. This will ensure all possible torque/power transition to the rear wheels.

I think the aftermarket for the Z is riced up already. Any more ricing (made that word up) would be a disaster?

I like my Z the way it is, IMO it was not meant to be a dragster, but more like a track circuit or road track car. All the performance upgrades to improve track time is all I am for. All the ricing up is just cosmetic or ego boosters IMO.

That reminds me..... Over the weekend, I pulled up at a stop light to a guy who was probally 18-20. He had a mid to late 90's civic with tint, stickers and the classic exhaust. I rev'd the engine thinking he'd go, but he didn't. He knew...

on a serious note though. i wonder if more young people start to nab a Z if
our insurance rates will increase. i would expect more young inexperienced
drivers with a Z would = more accidents on the road in Z's.

i'm not talking about the young experienced drivers on the forums now...but
the wannabe FnF tools doing a$$ backwards stunts on the roads.

I doubt the movie will boost sales that much. The car is doing it on its own already. If most teenage ricers could afford one they would already have them and be riced out already. Supra's, Eclipses, and Civics sold like hot cakes after those movies because they are cheap. Cheap to buy and cheap to mod is what attracts ricers. Tehy are all bums.

It pobably won't effect Z driver's as a whole. Rates are generally based on safety ratings, cost of vehicle, ect, ect... The younger drivers will most likely see price inflation due to their age and driving history.

ahhhhhhh, exclusive in the UK, gets more attention than a 'see them everywhere' Porsche. Import numbers are restricted and young people can't afford them.

First year available here only 450 were available, although they sold out in 58 minutes!
