the background is blown out, the subject is underexposed.

i dont like the red lights on the benz.

meter the cars and maybe less of an exposure.

you can do better.

not much to edit on those, the main subjects are underexposed like said and the background over exposed...

Tough subject with "no-light lighting" on the cars & bright background. Maybe it's a style, or maybe the monitor need calibration, but they could benefit from some post processing. As it is now, #1 & 3 look like building shots, as opposed to car shots.
Don't give up. It does get easier!

Love the rims on the Z. I think these shots would be great right before sunset when there's enough light in the sky to properly expose the cars.

creative shot, but needs work on the exposure...

Learn to use hte internal spot metering on the camera to you might need to get a grey card or light meter if u want to get these shots right.

Tripod might help A LOT since u can really make the exposure longer to bring out the cars.

personally, now this is just me...

Id meter the background the way you want it, then use wireless ETTL speed lights to light the cars only. You can fully expose the cars and still keep the "night time look" in your shot

This is a situation when you need 2 seperate shots with seperate exposures metering one for the building and on for the cars. Then you place them ontop of eachother and edit it that way... Next time

Am I looking at the building as the primary subject ? or the Car? ...

Up to you. If your shooting cars, the cars will be your primary subject
