Good start!
Photography is a great hobby and can really challenge your creative juices.
Since you just started, you may want to pick up a book about the basics, it will help you understand how to create the shots you want. One website I find helpful is http://www.digital-photography-school.com; they have tutorials and other great write-ups, as well as a very helpful forum community.
Just a simple critique would be to compose your shots so your subject stands out. Obviously the bright orange Z helps achieve this, but pretty much any other color car may get lost with the background (I am speaking about pics 2 & 4). Also your location will help achieve your overall picture... pick a place that will bring the cars attitude and aggressiveness out.
Here are some good links to dive into:
1.) http://www.digital-photography-schoo...-for-beginners
2.) http://www.digital-photography-schoo...mposition-tips
A good post production program is Adobe Lightroom, much more control than Photoshop.
Enjoy, and keep posting your work!

pcressey: thanx for the great info. I did look into it. massive amount of info.
I will try and learn new photography skills. expect some more pics soon.
as for the rest huge thanx. and oh by the way I was try to get the best shots
without using Photoshop. the only issue will be the rolling shot can't mange to
perfect them. I will try doing the slow shatter shots to get a bit creative on that.
lol btw all credit goes to the awesome forum members that post there pics so I can
learn from them.

thank you for the complement. I'm trying to keep it clean but not to leave in my garage
collecting dust. I drive this car almost daily. funny thing is every time I wash the car,
it rains after few mins. washed/polished/wax the thing yesterday and booom here comes the rain.

I think they are all shot well, but I'm not a fan of the perspective in the first and third shots. It's been mentioned before but the front wheels direction is very important. I also think the background in all (except the wheel shot) is a little too distracting. Rule of thumb, if it doesn't add to what your trying to get across remove it. I really like the lighting on the wheel shot, looks like a reflector was used? Maybe a white wall next to the car, but either way looks good.
In review, find a location and shoot some more conventional perspectives then play with the odd ones and see which look better. I think you'll find a happy medium in there somewhere.
BTW, great use of natrual light, 80% of the battle is won there.

it actually use to be an 03 lemans sunset, but the shop couldn't match the paint after painting the car 5 times. so they ended up painting the car lambo orange with a yellow shine and a white base coat.
lgear080: I was trying to move away from the car but I have one of those long travel lens "guess that's what they call it" anyway that's what I had available at that time. thanks for the info.
Zazz93: I never really used any reflectors and white wall the sun was right behind me when I did the shot and ended up with the wheel photo "tire shine did help too".
