Hmm so who makes the 350Z? Pontiac or Nissan??? :) That much style is definitely begging for the 3.2 turbo :)

:stupid: hehe
I like!!!
The thing I have to love most about "our" cars is the fact that they look cool as is, rather than slapping a ton of aftermarket bodywork on it. To me, that indicates if a cars overall design is a sucess or a failure. I don't see to many aftermarket body packages on the grand ams I see so thats a sucess to me.
That car does look like the Pontaic roadster, but if you really look at it for a while you will notice slight changes in overall appearence and the car itself looks a good amount larger. The biggest hint is that the car has four doors instead of two on the roadster.
Looks real nice, sleek and ready to rumble to me, hope they give it a cool interior treatment like the current GA's because I hate hu-hum interiors like Cav. and some other notable cars like the civic and sentra.
Personally the thing I like the most is how much they have improved the drag co. on the car. The current GA is a little high at .38, this thing looks like it can crack the .30 barrier which will make it have a non-drag limited top speed which alot of the cars out right now have.
Can't wait till mid 2004 when we start seeing some real info and tests on it.

They're never going to make that car. It's obviously too radical for the American public, as the people on the forums hardly represent the opinions of most GA owners. I'm sure they'll redesign it, but it'll [rolly be the same old conservative design with the GT version getting some hotter looks. Just by looking at that thing tho I can tell there are gonna be problems with tall guys and really anyone in general because the windshield is too small and at too much of a steep angle to give the driver any visibility. It really looks like a chopped car.
