370 z has fooled me a few times! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

pr086 · 07-11-2012, 09:02 PM

when i'm out on the road i'm always trying to spot a frs or brz. sometimes when a 370z goes by i have to do a double take. something about the nose of it is so similar. i know they don't REALLY look that much a like, but on the road they've fooled me more than once.

It's okay, the other night I mistook Prius headlights for a Lambo. I lost my man card for that one. (It's hard to tell at night!)

lol. does anyone else see the resemblence to the 370?

pr086 · 07-11-2012, 09:12 PM

if you think thats crazy the downward line in the rear corner panel that kind of squares off the rear makes me think of the GTR. anyone else get that?

Saw a GTR heading to the airport yesterday and had to do a double take. Similar at a quick glance but not much really

I see it more in the Tiburon.

DUDE YES! ALL THE TIME!!!

I think part of it is me simply wanting to see something that isn't there, BUT when I see one coming at me on the other side of the road, I always have to do a double-take!

If you think thats sad, im always mistaking sebrings for the goddamn BRZ -_-'

benoh · 07-11-2012, 09:58 PM

every single time i see one my first thought is "hey its a 370z, pretty nice"

upon closer inspection i realise it's am 86 and i just jump out of my seat in excitement!!

they're still a rare sight down here in australia! and i hope it remains that way until I get mine!

I had someone ask me about my GTR, I laughed and said I wish I had that much money.
