I have had that said a few times. It usually goes like this:
them:"Is that your 300zx out there" or " So you drive that white 300 zx out there"
me: "Yea, thats my 350z"
I pretty much correct them all sneak attack style. I just correct them when I answer but I answer as if they said 350z instead of 300zx. The 300zx is a beautiful car in my opinion so it doesnt bother me at all.

HAHA... Be thankful that you still get put in the nissan family... I was outside washing my ZR today.. and an older gentleman and his wife pull up next door.. I didnt really pay much attention... I just heard them pulling up... The man gets out of his Escape and walks halfway over to me an starts yelling.. "HEY" so i look at him.. and im thinking i have no clue who you are so i look down the other end of street and i am the only one out there... So i look back at him and he says... "Hey.. nice car is that one of them PONTIACS"
LOL... I replied... No its a Nissan 350Z... He said.. "Oh ok.. NICE CAR" LOL......

Compliments are nice therefore I don't correct them, just nod and say thanks.what made it worse is when i took off the nissan burgers. i always get "who makes that car"

I'll trade my 350 for a TT 300zx convertible anytime of the day.

Hasn't happened to me, but, as others have said, the 300zx is a beautiful car that was way ahead of its time and I absolutely love them, so it wouldn't bother me one bit. I plan on buying a 300ZXTT in the near future to have as another weekend car...nothing like popping out the t-tops and going for a drive!

when the shipping company picked up my car to get shipped to GTM, the description was 2005 Nissan 300ZX. Just kinda looked at the guy and didn't say anything

i have this happen to me very often. But I just wonder,.... If toyota comes out with another supra and it is called a supra rst, will we call it a supra still? And will it offend the guy that just spent his pocketbook to buy the newer model of the same car we all know about and call a supra or say, the new supra, or is that one of those supras? As they do the Z. The new Z. or the 300Z , or just a Z. They get the idea.

While standing in back of my Z while filling up my tank this guy comes up, looks at the car says: "Nice car, what is it, a 300z?" HE WAS LOOKING RIGHT AT THE 350Z EMBLEM... lol. I just smiled and then I think he realised what he had done... we had a short talk about how he liked one, wanted one, etc. but I've noticed that happening a few times.
I also get the "Oh, is that a Nissan?" while they're starting at the Nissan insignia on my front bumper...
