At least the pORSCHE driver doesn't have the ***** to put on some of those CANARDS!!!

 

Only been mistaken once for a Porsche, but then again people in Vegas can usually smell $$$$$

 

edit....

 

yeah i actually got pulled over and the cop thought it was a porsche. he asked if it was my car when he pulled me over. luckily he knew my parents and let me off. he didnt tell me he thought it was a porsche though, he told my parents that. hah..

they have some similar features in their shapes, i guess thats what throws people off that dont know cars. meh.. this is pretty common

 

maybe I should try to sell my "porsche" to one of these guys for @ $70K

 

I got the Porsche comment last night too. Thought it was kind of funny.

The side profile of a regular Z has a porsche-esque look to it, but that's about it. If anything, a regular Z has more of a porsche look to it than the NISMO.

 

the z can def hang with a porsche when it comes to looks.

 

LOL!! Around LA they're everywhere.

 

I don't see the nismo and porsche ressemblance, show me proof (pics ???)

 

I don't think they look alike, but I have the
knowledge of Z's and Porsche's that others do not.
I can see someone who does not know anything,
or really care about cars not be able to distinguish
the two.

 

I think the Nismo rear end/wing has alot of Porsche in it.

 

Yea, I've had people think it was a Porche.

 

Hehe... Porche still looks better

 

I like that comparison!

 

I love the porche but i think its a question of "Form following function". If the 911 was front engine it would share a lot more of its shape ( hood bulge). Porsche look very different without rear wing.

 

I've gotten three comments in regard to my Porsche Z. :\

A woman commented me while I was driving the other day, she pulled up beside me and told me "That is a beautiful Porsche." I proceeded to inform her, "Thanks, but I just spilled milkshake all over it," as I had just spilled a chocolate milkshake all over my center console and was flipping out.

Moral of the story is that the Z doesn't have any cupholders, no matter what Nissan may SAY.

 

 

When I first got this car, I thought you guys were all full of shiet with these "Porsche" stories... but then it happened to me:

First time:

I parked in a faculty lot at a nearby University once...assigned parking but I need to drop off a paper. I parked between a 996 Twin-turbo, a regular 996 Cabrio and across the way was an older 993 NA. Old faculty lady walks by and says:

"You have the best looking Porsche in this lot."

Um...no

Second time:

I wanted a gentlemen's parking spot in a swanky part of town, but noticed his car wouldn't start. I asked him if he had jumper cables and he said "yes" so I pull up to his side.

The guy wires up his engine then reaches out for my trunk telling me to pull up more. I'm thinking *Where the hell are you going?*

"Engine is up here sir, there is nothing back there"

Him *looking kinda confused*:
"Since when did they move the motor.......wait..this is not a Porsche??"
