Default Props from G37 owners

Ive gotten props from G37 owners on my coupe but 350/370 Z owners always look down on the car. Anybody else have this happen to them? I think Nissan owners are jealous and don’t like that Hyundai builds something that can easily hang with them.

I've only gotten props from an Altima Coupe owner After being at a Nissan dealership recently, I can understand why. Every 370z was stickered at $40k+ (and all but one was a slushbox too!)

None of the Z car drivers have commented/gave props to my car, but then again none of them have any hair left so I'm not too stressed.

Its the opposite for me. Infinity drivers are asshats and Nissan guys are usually pretty cool with me.

This. Can't say I've ever seen a Z owner (at least where I live) under 40, or far from it. I always get the vibe it's a realtor just driving it for the look.

I've always had great chats with Supra owners.



Z owners always look down on the car.


Z's were really ugly to begin with. The new ones are the ugliest cars I've ever seen right there with the Pontiac Aztec, Fiat Multipla...etc.



Hyundai builds something that can easily hang with them.


They also forget that there's a Z everywhere. At least with a Genesis Coupe it's unique. Also, anyone can fit inside whereas anybody taller than 5'4 will have a problem in any new Z.



Also, G37's are old rich guys/rich sons cars that aren't meant for nimble fun driving. They also take 93 fuel only. Of course their owners are jealous.
