New 350Z Spotted in Canada
Alright, Yesterday i was stuck in rush hour traffic for like 2.5hours after work. So i was in my 260z driving home, nice a slow, bumper to bumper styles. about 20km from my house traffic splits off and lets up. so i rip through my gears trying to get home asfast as i could, I get up to about 110-120mph (almost 200km/h) on a 2 lane highway (yeah im stupid but i was dying to hit the washroom). anyway. so there 2 cars way up the road, so i let off the gas and let the car coast upto the cars. Low and behold one of the cars in my way is a brandnew black 350z, i pull in behind, flash my highbeams at him (signaling him to move over, or speed up), he slows down, i have to pull out, and move up beside him. I give his car a look up and down (they are nice looking cars) he looks over, and gives me a dirty look, at which point i expected him to gas it and take off on me. but instead, he slows down as i rip past him..
These new Z owners are not taking advantage of their badass cars. Especially since this is the first time I've ever seen a 350z inside Canadas borders.
Anyway. If you got a Z, drive it like a Z..

Not everyone likes to drive reclessly everywhere they go. Going over 100mph in the US can land you in jail. Maybe he doesn't appriciate people with old cars running up close behind him and flashing their lights!

Re: New 350Z Spotted in Canada
BleachZee, LOL, True, but he should have known not to pace himself with another car, blocking access on a 2 lane road (impeeding traffic).
And also true, chances are it was still in "break in" mode, but i would also find it VERY hard not to push it abit just for fun.
But Oddly enough, I've only seen 1 350z in Toronto/GTA in Ontario. hrmm.

Re: New 350Z Spotted in Canada
I was on my way into work on a friday night two weeks back,
and guess what I saw in the parking lot.
I have to admit it looks alot better in person.
You have to remember that even when the original zed came out, there where not so spirited drivers.
These are the same people we have to thank for keeping these cars going for all these years.
IT'S ZED NOT ZEE GOD----DAMIT!!!!

Re: New 350Z Spotted in Canada
As with any new sports car. To them it may just be a late model sports car. Many Z32 drivers are of that mind. And many people in a 280ZX just see it as a $1000 car to get them to work. So no matter what Z the person is driving they may or may not care about the Z heritage.... :-( its sad, really...

Re: New 350Z Spotted in Canada
I haven't seen more than 4 or 5 in the Toronto area. My buddy at Nissan in WHitby sold 5 him self.. I saw the first one delivered in Whitby... poor car had a minor scratch on it right off the truck!!!
Haven't seen one using the power either.. but I guess its pretty hard with the attention they get..
I have a hard time driving fast sometimes too... people speeding to catch me, then slowing to have alook as they doddle past.. Then slowing some more as they look for some kind of badge on the car!! hehehe
I'd love one, but i can't justify the $ for a car that is slower than what I already own, AND it would have to be my Winter car as well.

Re: New 350Z Spotted in Canada
In my neighborhood, my 94 Nissan Altima is the most expensive car on the block! :-D
Again, if I even had half the money it would take to buy the 350Z I would rather build myself a sweet 240Z with a powerful engine that would be faster than a 14 second car.

Re: New 350Z Spotted in Canada
i was coming back from church and i'm pretty sure i saw a 350z going down the road and i told my mom to follow it but she said she didn't have the time 
but atleast i got to see one. oh yeah what state is it that you choose what speed you want to go?? p.s. what's the top speed of a 350z??

Re: New 350Z Spotted in Canada
alright, theres gotta be something going on. maybe all the 350z's just arrived, Cuz i just saw 2 different ones (one battle ship gray, and one metallic copper) on the highway into work today. I still dont know if i like the back end (the lights, hatch and bumper) though. but the front clip is badass.
