The "pro drifter" is the biggest to me, I'm a 28 year old 280zx owner, restored it and been driving it on and off for 8 years, so my opinion comes from someone who's more traditional in the "z community" or whatever you wanna call it.
To me and all the older crowd or Z guys (I'm not old but I tend to think like an old person sometimes) it's just the people who buy and drive these, I've been seeing a lot of clapped out 350's in recent years because it seems like now it's the car of choice for teenagers or early 20's to buy since they're pretty affordable compared to other stuff, they maybe plastidip it, put some shitty exhaust on it, and put some ridiculous camber on it, cover it in anime stickers (i love anime but some people cringe af) then act like they got something or that they're fast and drive around really bad and revving their engine. It's not good to stereotype but there's a lot of truth to stereotypes wether they be good or bad and reputations form over time, as pretentious as the comparison may sound there's a reason why Ferrari bars people from buying their cars or makes you jump through hoops to get one even if you can afford to buy one on the spot with a briefcase full of money.
When you look at the other Z's like the 240, 260, 280, and even the 300's (Z31) most enthusiasts keep them original, then with the Z32 it tends to get modded but most often it's tasteful because of how expensive and difficult to work on that car can be, the 350 has the reputation you and I described, the 370z is getting there but it's more expensive and looks almost identical so people don't bother paying more for it, and the 400Z is new so it doesn't have much of a reputation yet, so in the Z family it can be seen as the equivalent of the annoying kid who thinks he knows everything.
I personally like your 350 cause it's done tastefully and I don't have any hate towards the car itself, it's just that it gained a reputation/community that some people see as damaging the Z brand/reputation and a lot of Z owners have emotional connections to their cars or may have really strong brand loyalty so they see it as a stain to the Z lineage, I understand the sentiment but I try to be reasonable when it comes to voicing my gripes with it because gatekeeping isn't cool and rips apart communities.
That's just my honest opinion on the car, like I said I'm not trying to sound like a hater if it came off that way, the most important thing about your car is that you feel good about it buy what makes you happy and build it however you see fit if that makes you happy....well that's actually the 2nd most important thing and safety/maintenance is the first but you get the point ;)
@puhpuh cawcah completely understand where you’re coming from! I think there’s a difference between truly appreciating what a car was designed and produced for and the “stereotypes” around them.
It’s good to see others like you voice your opinion without coming off as hateful towards anyone in the community. I think the Z hate will die down over the years. It will take a long time but we’ll get there eventually.
Thanks for watching and the amazing comment, hopefully others read your comment and get an understanding of what being in the Z community is truly like.
Bro you have inspired me to buy a 350Z I’ve been saving for a while now and just pulled the trigger on a 13k mile 2004 350Z! Love your videos and hope to see more in the future!
@Ian Garcia That’s awesome to hear man!! Congrats on the new Z that’s definitely a great find. Can’t wait to see what you do with it, thanks for watching man ✌️
Here in Uk you dont see them often and when ppl do they always show some love. Ive had 2 and never a negative moment apart from the usual grumps that will always have something to say but who cares about them. As you know you sit in a Zed and turn that key and grin and always look back to check that booty line they carry so well. Great motors :)
@Frilled Neck Dragon Uk Good to hear about you never experiencing negative comments in the UK! Someone else who commented said they aren’t common which is still surprising to me! Man I love my Z though, such a great car!!
I got my 350z about 3 months ago and I've loved it ever since! They're not too common in Virginia but I love seeing one whenever I do!
@Quinn Sanborn that’s awesome man! What do you have planned for the Z?
Regular traffic
Well said! 🙌🏼
@Ryan Gomez Thanks man! ✌️
I got my first 350z in 2019 it was an 03 auto and had to sell it ended up getting a 2017 maxima and that got totaled. On my second Z a 03 6mt and I love it. Gonna get a 370 in the future when the prices go down
@tommie baylor that’s too bad about the first Z but I think that’s an upgrade 6mt! Hope you like it man!
I have had my 350z since 2018 and love it, I am from South Africa and they are very uncommon we mostly got VW's and most sound like fart cans most people leave their Z stock where am from.
@Ben that’s awesome! I’m surprised most people keep theirs stock. Have you modded yours at all?
In Spain the zs are not as common. I've had 2 and relly love the way it looks, sound and drive. But yeah, lot of hate here too
@xlmDuaL Damn man what cars are popular in Spain? I love my Z and would definitely get another one if I had to!
The platform is anyway like 20 years old so they are still solid cars.
@Ben that’s true, still amazing cars for sure!
Wat headlights u got ???

They are pretty uncommon in the UK.
@barryhall7 really? I would have guessed it would be similar to here in the US. That’s good to know!
It gets plenty of hate online, but in person people still love the car. Get nothing but praise.
@Adrian 100% agree with that! It surprises me how much people like these cars in person. Especially older generations who tend to be into more classic cars
@@dominiccampbell6087 it’s like a celebrity. People talk shit for days about them online and social media, but are star struck once they see them in person and go wild hahah
@Adrian exactly!!!
personally, i think the z is a better car than a sti any day.
@aid christensen 100% agree!
