#4 is a great start.. it needs a little more even light distribution (the gas cap has a dark fade on it). Tone the side flashes down a little bit and see if you can fire another at a 3/4 angle to light the rear a bit more. Aside from that, it's a very good start!

Watch the parking lines as well, you may want to clone some out to ease the business of the scene.

And stop the selective color stuff!

They are a good first attempt. But you need a light on each side. #1 is the only one I really like but the right side of teh car gets lost in the dark. It needs a bit of light to help define it.

Shots 4,5 and 7 is my favorite of the bunch. Shot is too dark to make out the z33 but overall great shots. I have a Lemans Sunset Z myself and the Lemans and Daytona Blue both react well to lighting in my opinion.
