I'm sorry but that doesn't look right IMHO. That paint accentuates certain lines WAY to much. Yuck, I love the way the 240 looks but they fell short on the 370. Could have really looked good too, what a shame.

That really brings back a lot of memories. Very nice looking 370Z and of course the 240Z as well...............

Love the original...
the 370 looks good - I'm not feeling the paint design around the front lights. Then again I really don't like the front lights on the stock 370.

I think they completed their goal very well. Hope to see this at ZDAYZ in person. I am a big fan of what they have done and all the racing lineage.

9/10 on this board likely don't even know why this is special, or what "BRE" is. I assume this pic was taken recently at the Road Atlanta BRE event?

Didn't someone just post a thread with a photo-shoped 370z with the martini theme? Bet he'll love this

Loved the original, and love the tribute, but they should have removed the headlights and cleaned up the paint lines in front.

I spoke with the guys from Stillen who helped build the car and they had some interesting facts:
*The car was built by Stillen but the paint scheme was designed by Peter Brock.
*The Z is in fact not a Nismo 370Z but instead a normal 370z with Nismo parts added (thus the OEM sideskirts)

Looks like a regular Nismo Z with a silly color scheme.
