WDWFreak53, car discussion

I really like it. Some of the "artist's rendirings have been :hurl:, but this looks aggressive and compact. It maintains some of the best elements of the current design while adding some contours that improve on it.

I can't wait to see some specs and a final version. Supposedly it's a good bit lighter and more powerful than the current version. Weight has always been my biggest problem with the 350.

Not sure I like the hatch lines from the GT-R... but at least its not ugly It seems to play with the scale/impression of height. The Z has very high window sills.. where the new roof line makes the windows look taller. Almost like a fighter cockpit profile.

Glad they kept the fenders and rumors of weight reduction will be awesome if held to.

The one thing I disliked about the styling of the 350Z...the roofline.

If you look at a profile shot of one...once it goes past the roof and works it's way to the rear of the car...there's a dip and it's not a nice "flow."

This doesn't seem to have that "dip" and it flows REALLY well to the rear and it has a nice wrap-around feel. Also, the spoiler really works (from a profile viewpoint).

EDIT: I do not like the boomerang styling of the Maxima headlights...and I hope they don't incorporate those into the Z.

I'm normally not a fan of spoilers, but I think, for this particular design, it's key. The 350 has a rear that . . . just . . . sort of . . . happens.:lookaroun

I'm sure it's very aerodynamic and functional, but the weak look of the rear of the 350 has always left an odd feeling in my brain. I think the spoiler on the Nismo makes a huge difference, and this one should help also.

This is that "dip" I was talking about.

Maybe it's not a "dip" but just the round flattening out making it seem more exaggerated than it really is.

Pass.

Now maybe if my name was Tony, and I could get it in a IROC Z28 package... then maybe I would. :lol::lookaroun

Which is heavier? The Camero or CTS?

And I like the Camero... I just dont think its "me" anymore. :lol:

The CTS is heavier by 200 pounds...nothing TOO major.

yeah... wow.. that close..hmm. interesting.

yeah.. since I am in my 30's, old, fat and graying now... I think the CTS is more me than the Camero is. :lol: But its still pretty sharp.

It must be fun to be able to take out "test" cars and have your way with them :lookaroun

...not the worst Wagon I've seen.

Something isn't right about the back though...it's got a weird line that I can't seem to put my finger on...but overall...not too shabby.
