Autoblog had a nice write-up of the new Nissan 370Z yesterday. When I lived in Vegas I owned a first-year 350Z that was absolutely a blast to drive on long and open desert roads.

Well after looking at some of the photos it became obvious that they did some of the testing just a few minutes from where I used to live in Red Rock Canyon. Oh the cruelty! Their picture on top, my picture on the bottom:

Notice the mountain top in the background of both pictures — yup, that’s Red Rock!
