Thumbs down Startin to see to many 350z!

When I first got my car, I hardly saw it that much. Now I can't drive for more than 15 min with out seeing one. Everyone I know wants one or is getting one. 2 of the kids I hang out with have them. I'm starting to look as my car differently. It's a nice lookin car, that is affordable. We are *ucked when Fast and furious 3 comes out. I might just trade my car and go to the C6 z06 family.

I can't stand posers like you.

Oh look... that old lady is driving the same car as me. I must sell my car now because I'm not cool anymore... (as if you ever were).

The Z is for all types of people. Not just enthusiasts, racers, modders, ricers, etc. It's a well rounded sports car that looks great and is affordable for most people. If you can't handle that fact you shouldn't have got one to begin with. How can you blame anyone for wanting the car? You obviously did.

Posers hate to have their thunder stolen.

lol...I feel ya. You should live in Cali. They are a dime a dozen there.

Anywho.....Zs aren't too common I don't think in the mid-atlantic region and I don't hate those who got them. However..I am worried bout the F&F3 crowd that will come out.....but then again..maybe not. You don't see too many EVos runnin' around 'cause of that movie. The eclipse doesn't count either.

You should try Southern California!

i've seen a couple more than usual recently...
but then i usually just listen to the exhaust note (but its constantly confused with FX or G), around my way i have the ONLY tuned (lightly or not) Z in the area... everyone has full stock Z's... i still havent seen any Z in my area above a performance trim... no 1 has brembos...
in so cali, or south FL, an NSX becomes a bargain supercar and even a ferrari is not unique lol

it's one thing to see a bunch of z's and another thing to see a modded z. i see 1 z every other day and a modded one once every month. and it does get me excited to see a modded one. i like to see what other people are doing.

the more Z's that are out there the more stuff the aftermarketers will come out with!! ]

at least it will never be saturated to the point of the Honda Civic/ accord
or all honda/ acura products for that matter

all i see are automatic roadsters around here driven by women in their 30s-40s. Still, there are way too many on the road but thats to be expected when you drive the best sports car under $40k.

I average about 2 Zs a week in Denver. Serious dearth there! Since I've been coming to LA 4 days/wk, I see well over a dozen, half of which are right on the Warner Bros. grounds where I work!

I hardly ever see any. There are 2 in the town I live in and neither one gets driven much and both are silver one 03 base and one 04 base. I dont care how many there are. I ordered mine because I like it. Who cares how many people have them.

You bought a moderately priced production sports car, not a limited edition run of 100 exotic supercar. If people you know have them, then you have a common interest.



Ohhh and here in Southern California I've got a CS Z and haven't seen another one like it. Odd.
