Message Anyone else ever noticed that there is something about a Z's proportions that make it look bigger than it is, especially in pictures? Especially my 2+2, in pictures she looks huge! But I have noticed, I park next to an Eclipse (pre-2000) and the Z is quite a bit smaller than the Eclipse, or at least looks like it. And just now, I parked next to my brother's Rx7, which I consider to be a pretty small car, and my Z sits just as low and is roughly the same length as the seven. Cool. And mine's a 2+2! I would assume a coupe would be shorter than the Rx7. I dont know what it is that makes them look big, but they really aren't. Just thought Id tell you some random observations I've made :)
I think it's these unusual proportions that make the car so beautiful. To me, a Z looks crazy wide and low and exotic coming down the road, and its really hard to capture that in a picture.
Sorry for rambling.
