Very cool find!! Going by memory I have great memories of the 70's Z, from my teens.
However, side by side two strong feelings jump out:
1) Man, that new car is huge!
2) Man, that new car is sweet looking compared to the oldie!

Slightly OT, but after looking at the 240/370 shots I gotta say, is there ANY color the 370z doesn't look good in???

What the hell is "almost exactly similar"?

Quoted for the Truth!!! I have yet to see a color that looks bad on Z. I though yellow looked okay, then Stillens exhaust video proved me wrong. Great color selection by Nissan!

I agree. Nissan did a very good job with color selection for this car. The car, however, can't make all colors look good, and I cringe at picturing it in that metallic orange the 350 debuted in.
