Looks like there should be a big engine in the rear of the car.
They should have shortened the frame by 4 inches. There is a ton of room in that rear deck.
Instead they took the hatch and chopped the roof. It's nice, but would be so much better if they dropped some weight. I think motor trend said the weight would increase by 200-300lbs and the price would be around 35k.
Maybe the rear deck looks so long because of the body matched cover.
I think the car fits nicely between the s2k and mustang vert.
S2k Low HP low Weight
350Z Medium HP Medium weight
Mustang Vert HIGH hp HIGH weight (3780 lbs. for the cobra)
I think it's great to see all these options

Good pics. The roadster is not bad at all.

On that note, I'm reading my EVO and they review the new Aston DB7 GT. The damn thing came out 10 years ago but still looks prototype-new. Sad to say the Vanquish already looks 5 times its age.

In real life the 350Z looks awesome. I use to think it was kinda ugly, but on the road it is sweet. The G35 coupe is the best looking japanese car on the road right now. I have seen them in Diamond Graphite and Black and they are simply awesome! I wish infiniti would make a hardtop convertible of the G35 coupe.
The 350Z roadster looks good in the silver colors with the tan seats. There are some autoshow pics of this out on the net.

I agree with SHIRI. The previous Z stills looks pretty nice for a car that's been out that long ago. You can make an argument for the other Nissan cars being dated easily, but not their Z! IMO, the Supra looks more dated and that came out after the Z.
