Default I am an a** man myself

Just thought it would be fun to hear what people have to say about looking at their cars. What they like and maybe not like so much. Kinda ironic that there is another thread that recently talked about this (most beautiful cars) and the link said that the Z was too fat. well I must love fat bottomed girls cause to me I love to look at the a** end of the Z. I have a few Z's in the neighborhood and when we meet up on the road I love to tailgate them and watch as the Z's a** bounces over the road, and how it handles curves.

I also love the contour from the side but kind of against popular belief, I am not too crazy looking at the Z head on. To me it seems a touch "buggish", almost as if I were looking at a cartoon VW or something, I dunno, guess its hard to explain.

Anyway just looking for other opinions.

My problem with the butt-end of the Z is that if you compare it with most exotics in the world, the Z's is way more.....bulbous? It's not that it's too fat, per se, but it's just to round. If it had just a tad more hint of hard lines to it, I think it would make the car look a little more agressive from the rear. I personally think the back of the C5's is one of the best out there. It's very wide (or fat or whatever) but it's got just enough "cut" to it to keep it from seeming bubble-like.

Other than that, I love the look of the Z from any angle. I think the roof-line is particularly sexy.

yeah the roof line is pretty tight, specially the way the windows are tucked in real nice, and that second window is nicely proportioned.

I love the view from the back really low, but I hate the 3/4 view from either of the rear tires closest to the camera.

I'm also not too crazy about the rear look of the Z. IMHO if Nissan used the front end of the Z and the rear of the G35 Coupe, that would have been perfect. But I guess for that to happen we're going to have to wait for the new Skyline GT-R.....

I agree that the straight on front view is kinda lame. Other than that I really like to look at it. I like the azz view as well.

I like to see it from the front and rear quarter, or from the side. Don't like it from head on either. And yeah, the rear bumper is a little too round, reminds me of a audi TT. Looks better with oem spoiler though, without one makes me think of a continental... even with it's few odd lines man this car just wrecks me, always end up staring at it when I walk away.

I personally think the back of the C5's is one of the best out there.
eh actually the rear is what ruins it for me on vettes.. now the rear on a mid 60s stingray hehehe thats a vette...

I agree!! Side view of the roofline's slope is so cool and distinctive of the Z.

350z Azz looks beautiful. That's what makes it unique. It's a car for James bond (black color). The new Aston Martin DB9 has a sexy azz as well. (from quarter rear)

My girlfriend loves looking at the azz of the Z. As a matter of fact, everyone in my family likes the back view the best. I like the side profile, idk why, it just has such a sleek look to it. Every view of the Z is nice though
