Cool pair bro. It's amazing how similar the 2 rides are, altho I too didn't realize how much smaller the z is. Show us more.

Hmm.. My rear windows don't open, but the female voice that says the doors are open still works. =)

Re: my STOCK baby with 280zx

The first shot reminds me of when I parked my '95 BMW 325is at the Infiniti dealer next to a G35C for the first time. The G coupe is surprisingly big by comparison. It makes your 280ZX look like a miniature, as it did my BMW. This really worried me intially. I thought the G might drive and handle like a big, heavy car. Thankfully, as most of us here know by now, it most decidedly doesn't.

Re: my STOCK baby with 280zx

Also note the huge difference in wheelbase...

The G coupe is a lot bigger than it seems. You know it's longer than a C5?

Re: my STOCK baby with 280zx

Really??? Longer than a C5 huh? When my dad saw my new G for the first time, he said "how come you got such a small car?" I guess it really isn't that small.

Re: my STOCK baby with 280zx

All of which begs the question: What's all that extra size being used for? Certainly not on the trunk, and it's a bit cramped in the engine compartment around the V6. I suppose the backseat has pretty good leg room, but the lack of headroom screws it up. Speaking as a big guy, I would call the front seating area comfy, but not huge. No, I take that back. Compared to sports cars, it's pretty huge. I guess that's it.

Re: my STOCK baby with 280zx

Backseat room is freaking huge. I wish it was smaller heh, or non-existant for that matter. But I won't **** anyone off getting into that... =P

Extra room is pretty much the backseats, I think. Front isn't too big, trunk isn't too big, and engine compartment is no where near as big and open as my 280zx. The wheelbase is as long as a Gsedan actually. The 350z wheelbase is like a whole foot shorter, it matches a lot better in size next to my 280. Yea, I thought the G was small compared to other cars, but huge compared to my 280zx. At least it doesn't handle like its size. =) It still looks small in terms of design.
