I think one of the tricks to photographing the Z is using low angles... like getting close to the ground. When you shoot a photo down at the car from above it tends to exaggerate it's proportions, especially the rear. Top-down shots also kind of miss some of the nuances of the car like the upswept steep angle where the a pillar meets the roofline. Low shots also tend to minimize the wheel gap on non-lowered cars, whereas top-down can draw attention to it a bit more. The car is photogenic, just like a lot of people can be photogenic, but it's ultimately up to the photographer to capture the best angles and lighting situations for the subject.
