To begin, I was lucky enough to drive a brand new 07 Nismo 350Z on Monday night. Since the car was recently washed, I stopped over at one of my local spots and took a few hours to get some photos. To be honest I would have gotten more, but I was dying to drive the car, so my patience ran out before I could get to the interior really.
And man, does it drive. I own an 07 Z myself, so I could feel the changes that were made easily. The suspension is wonderful, especially for a car right off the showroom floor. Very stiff, but not so much so that I was getting a sore ass driving down the bumpy part of the freeway. The body kit is definitely not just for show, and the lower front bumper makes a big difference in terms of stability.
Inside the car is decorated with red stitching accents on the doors, and the steering wheel (what I did photograph). The steering wheel also has a different material right at 9 and 3 where my hands hold, something different from leather or alcantara that I can only describe as spongy. It was very comfortable when driving the car through the backroad turns.
Anyway, onto the photos. As I was setting up for the shots, I stood and stared at the car for at least a half hour. The body really has lots of intricate details in the wing, front bumper, and rear valance. There are even vents in the back of the inner wheel well that direct air to that valance and help the downforce. I was in love with the front bumper before the shoot, but I've found a new respect for the wing after capturing it in some of the angles to you see here.
This whole shoot was mostly to get something for my portfolio, so let me know which you guys are feeling.
Enjoy. :)
