I love the Z, it is one of the most beautiful new cars out there. But at this moment I can think of 3 cars at this moment (I'm sure there are more) that I think are much better looking:

1) The last gen 300ZX (esp in pearl, it's heart-stopping).

2) The Mazda RX7...it looks unbelievable until the damn rotary burns the paint off. OK, it even looks good after that.

3) The Merecedes 300SL gullwing (Hey I saw one on the road today! Could have been a replica).

I just got back from the houston auto show, where I will admit aside from the exotics (IE cars over $60K) the only production two cars which I thought were truly beautiful were the Z, the S2000, and the boxster.

I had a 99 vette and sorry to say I like my z better..... But yes, I do miss the power of the vette. This is why I'm trying to get the most I can out of the zs motor (turbo, low compression internals, and other go fast stuff) I think I just got tired of seeing vettes everywhere
On the road I think the best looking car is the Lamborghini Murcielago.

Man I couldn't agree with you more. I know folks who will go out of their way, look past the maintenance issue of that rotary just because the FD design is so sexy. Still one of my favorites in the tuner world.

The supra shared the same aura too but it's starting to look dated. It had a long run though!

Take away all we know about the car, the Z33 is still a sexy vehicle. You could throw a 4-banger in it and sell it for 10 grand, I'll still be like "whoah".

I believe the Diablo and the Modena are both beautiful cars. The Murcialgo is nice but mostly because I know it's association, what's under the hood and what it can do. The angular style is a little bit to get use to.

Well here we are 12 hours into the poll with 24 Yes and 28 NO. I'm reading all the replies and, yes I asked the question correctly. No stickers, no 1000 HP engines, no virgin leather, or 250 MPH to consider here. Just two cars sitting side by side in a parking lot. Looks like we might have a hanging chad situation here!

Might be your damn vertical butterfly ballot...I can't seem to figure out which one is "yes" or "no".

top 10, YES.
Best under $65k (yes, imho)

But here is my quick list

360 Modena
355
575 maranello
Murci
Gellardo
SL55/500
911
Vanquish
DB7

the M3 could be a toss up (i'd say stock for stock, M3 might have slight edge, but modded Z wins)

Well, for under 60K, there is no other car I would rather have. Vettes just don't look to good to me, love the power, but that is it, they can keep the rest of the car.

I have always loved Ferraris, but hey, they cost too damn much. But I am just not into the American muscle bit, I guess. Can't get into the Vette, Firebird, Camaro, and Viper look. An M3 is a nice car, but other than the wheels and a few accents, it still really looks like a regular BMW. For a sedanlike car, BMWs have to top the list though.

Default Best looking

I see no one picked the Ford GT 40, I think that it one great looking car. Not to mention AS KICKING too.
But I stil love my Z, for the money I don`t think you can do better.

Hearing alot from the 38 people who voted "NO". Where are the comments from the 35 who voted "YES"? This is a much closer vote than I thought it would be.

Well, I voted 'yes', and I told you what I thought just a while ago. Of course, the only reason I voted 'yes', is cause I considered price in my equation, that is under 60K. Others didn't follow this as you didn't outline it, but for my own money, the answer is 'yes'. Price no object, of course not, but in this world, there is one thing everything centers around, and that is money. For that amount of money, the Z is second to none.
