Request: Pic of FD's next to other cars

So today my girlfriend pointed out a FD that was parked next to a G35c and commented on how slender and petite the FD looked next to the bulkier and "chunkier" (as she phrased it) G35.

Although I've noticed this in the past, I never really paid too much attention to it but her comment got me thinking. Maybe it was the fact that was FD was black and the G was white? I don't know.. I do recall parking my FD next to a miata before and thought that the FD wasn't THAT much bigger.

Anyways, I've searched the whole forum and couldn't find any threads about FD's "next to", "beside", or "compared to" other cars. So I was hoping you guys would be able to give me your insights on this.

I have a cell picture of an FD parked next to a GTR (angle shot) but the FD looks tiny in comparison.

I wanna see a FD side by side with a Z06, it only seems right.

I like how the FD makes the STI look like an SUV.

Its not. I've have both sitting in my garage for years together. (Both NA miata and NB miata) Ive never measured but Id say that the FD is only 4 or 5 inches longer than either miata. FD's are truly pretty small cars.

There is actually more (Usable?) cargo room in my miatas than my FD. lol.

The FD is so slender compared to the MK3 and MK4 supra.

and those pictures next to the Viper are awesome! Compare how much of the parking space the Viper takes up compare to the FD... then imagine the two if they didn't reline the parking lot.

Thanks Interestingly enough for some reason the ghia always the love, much more than the FD and I've spent 10X more $$ on the 7... The ghia is due for a make over though. I'm thinking white with blue pearl and tan seats.
