Default Parked next to a Z32 and noticed....

I just happened to park next to a Z32 I see at my office every so often, and I noticed that it doesnt look very tall, my cars roof looks like an inch or two taller, also the car looks not as wide, or bulky, just all around smaller. Is it because of my big rims, and not slammed drop? Or is the Z32 just a shorter, less wide car?

EDIT

BTW, I love how the Z33 looks compared to the ZX, like times infinity plus one.

Is that a huge parking space or are you taking up 2 parking spaces?

The older Z is lower than ours. Its also not as wide but since it's lower it makes it look wider. I really like the older look. More exotic if you ask me.

I love my 350 but, I will always love the Z32 as well. I believe that the Z32 is one of the best looking sports cars of all time. The looks transcend time in the sense that if it were new today one could hardly tell that it has been actually out of production for 10 years now. Just my 2 cents.

Hopefully we'll be saying that about our Z33's in 10 years or so. I parked next to a white Z32 last night. It had a bodykit, wheels and exhaust from what I could see and was ALOT lower than me. He was probably dropped. Anyway the car was showing it's age but still looked awesome. I always loved them.

Weren't they also heavier? My brother had modded TT ...back in the day it was sex on wheels, pretty ahead of its time back in 1990.

I think the Z32s still look awesome. I originally looked for one to buy before buying the 350Z, but couldn't find any in the condition I had hoped for.

Get some coilovers, that will even things out provided the z32 is at stock height.
