edit: The lengths on both cars are scaled perfectly, btw... as in both are exactly to scale.

 

haha that's awesome!

 

dope

 

Sorry, I still think the 350Z took a bit of the old 300ZX.

Notice it's the nearly the same roofline with the butt sticking up a little bit on the 300ZX? It's the same thing with the 350Z, it has the same roofline with the butt sticking up a bit.

And seriously, There is not much room for radical new design to the roofline of a 2 seater. What were you expecting Nissan to do? Make it blocky in the back like a 4 seater sedan?

 

Yeah yeah I know, its more funny than serious.

 

man, the old Z's looked amazing. I miss mine

 

besides if you look at that pic it cant be exactly to scale.....the z is angled while the porsche isnt

 

Figures...

Wasn't the original 240z sketched by the guy who designed Porsches?

love the damn Z32s man! classics already

 

holy crap what's up with those MID concept cars? wow! the 1987 one looks exactly like an NSX from the front

 

It's not just about looks... the tear-drop shape is very aerodynamic. Anyone who wants to design a car with a low drag coefficient is going to use a similar shape.

 

yea it's too bad this MID4 wasn't produced.

 

Z has much better looking back end than the Porsche, imo. The thing that really makes it work are the trianuglar shape of the tail lights. The lights continue the roof line.

 

dude, that is awesome seriously..

 

I'm a huge fan of porsches, but never liked them without an obvious fixed spoiler in the rear (911 turbos, GT's etc.) or the pronounced rear-quarter panels.

Without the spoiler, the car's rear-end kinda sags too low and makes it look like a frog.

 

Reason number 70 million why I want my next car to be a "young" GT2. =)

I love my z.
