Z1NONLY,
A bit off topic.......however, I enjoyed your pictures. Can you tell me what type of digital camera you were using? I am going to check out my local Nissan Dealership and try to take some quality pics. I have a very nice Olympus E-Volt and I want to try and capture the angles of the car.
Thanks!

Sorry it took me so long to reply, but I just got back from the track...

Chicane Yellow 370Z
Well I did make it to the Nissan Dealership this afternoon (in Lancaster, PA). I pull in, ask a salesperson if they have any 370's on the lot. He said they just sold the only one (Chicane Yellow) that had arrived, 5 minutes before I pulled in.
Well, I pull out, and get to a red light. I look over and THERE it is. A woman driving it back to the dealership to drop off a salesperson. I turn around, pull in, and then ask her if I can take pictures. She says "ok."
Now, the meat of this story!! Her car that she drove to the dealership is a Chevy Tracker! I mean, this is her new sports car and she's driving a Chevy! Hell, I didn't even ask if she has ever driven a rear wheel drive sports car.
I brought the images down to a size that isn't worth justice to the regular files of 5MB or so. However, if anyone would like the original size files, get in touch with me and I'll email them to you.
I'll let you guys be the judge of the rear end. To me, well, I could live with it, but it does look like a Tiburon!
Enjoy!!!!

The increase in 'hood height' on the 370 compared to the 350 is there for increased pedestrian impact safety. All new vehicles have to conform to these new laws.

'04 Track.....
I, too, have a 2004 (Track Model). I want to test drive a 370 just to feel how much of a difference there actually is compared to older models.
The interior is sharp looking on the 370. Not sure how I feel about the "pod" thing on the left side of the steering wheel.
Attached is a picture of my Z.

I saw one at the car show in what looked like a light silver color and it got no love from people. Actually the convertable 350 was getting more attention believe it or not.
To me i'm satisfied, I was always worried my baby (350z) was going to look like an outdated pinto when we finally saw the new Z's rolling around town. With the 370 however, it's a great design that is slowly growing on me (especially in yellow), but it fails to overshadow the 350 in terms of looks. The 350 in my opinion gets the edge, looks wise, but the new 370Z holds the fort nicely. The last thing I would want is for my beloved Z brand going down the toilet.
Good...I really like how the new Z's roof falls straight back to the rear, very slick. Also has anyone noticed the 370z kind of resembles a buggati from the back side. Look at the first 370z yellow pick above and notice how from a side angle it's rear kind of resembles it. From the fron tires and back, she's gorgeous.
Bad... Nissan please change that front end, damn thing resembles a cat fish or something.
