Default wide

I find it interesting that most people who have seen the car in person comment on how much better it looks in person vs pictures. I beieve it looks more agressive in person. I wonder if this is due to the with. It looks fairly narrow to me in the pixs, but this is not true. I did some research:


width:
350Z: 71.5
Boxter: 70.1
s2000: 68.9


What is the width of the Z32/33 .. I believe it is close to the 350Z?

Default 71" = 5'11 which is taller than I am

So I can really sleep inside of the car! What a nice car!

The Z's length is 169.6 inches. The width is 71.5 inches.

It does look a lot bigger and more aggressive in person. It does not photograph well - ends up looking plain.

The car is wide as all can be... even though the roofline is noticable HIGHER then Z32 it is also noticeably WIDER.

Having finally seen the Z in person, I can completely agree that pictures do not do it justice. I think it is the width that pictures just can't show, also the flare of the fenders looks much more aggressive and strong in person than in any pictures. BTW... the Blue is f*cking fabulous in person, the pictures don't show the phenomenal (sp?) metallic finish to the Blue.

It is and it looks like a "candy" blue to me in the sunlight when I saw it with my naked eyes at a dealer. It had that effect to me anyway candy or not. I wonder if those demo's are treated with some special polish or something! The thing glowed in the bright sun!

Always remember: Width more important than length.
