The Nissan was a blank canvas and Gregg was about to get Michelangelo all over it.
Looks like he pissed on it.

The cluster being in the center console kinda looks off to me, not to mention how it'd give me neck cramps turning my head to the right looking at the correct RPMS to shift at... which brings me to another point... where are the Tire pressure/mileage/mph/mpg guages, oil, battery, those guages are useful too! The Z Has smooth lines yes, but to smooth out everything I think takes away the edginess of the car design as well...

Man, that car is really yellow -- it looks like the driver took the car into one of those automatic car washes, and intead of water and soap, they used yellow paint . It does seem like a lot of work and money was put into making it though.

It's a nice car but I'd have to agree that it's a bit yellow for my taste. Since his color scheme was primarily yellow & black, I think he should've brought more black into his design to balance everything out. Perhaps having black rims & grill instead of yellow would've looked better. Maybe even the side mirrors black like how the Lambos have it.

I think its funny that they went through all that work and hardly did anything under the hood. Still has the ugly green bolts.

Have you checked out Turbo lately? It's so thin, it's like an insert in a real magazine. It's readership heyday is gone, and Super Street and some other "image" style magazines are the norm, especially MPH and other comedy-written scripts-magazines ala FHM.

They're lucky to have a car on their cover at all, let alone something flashy and yellow to try to make you buy their (now) low budget mag.
