I think the 370Z is very photogenic. Try shooting a little lower than eye level (chest or waist level). Also, I think a rear 3/4 view is the car's best angle. To reduce fish-eye distortion inherent in most point and shoot cameras, step further back and zoom in to compose your shot. You'll find that zooming will not only reduce lens distortion, it will also give you a shallower depth of field (depending on the camera settings). That means if you focus on the car, things in the background can be slightly blurred, thus giving the subject of your photo (the car) more attention.
Here's a couple of examples:
This was shot at about headlight level. I was standing about 100 ft back with a long lens. Notice how the background is blurred. If you have the option of adjusting the aperture, the wider (i.e. getting closer to F2.8) you go, the more this effect is noticed.
And look at that great looking azz!
Yes, I'm using professional gear, but the general photography principles apply no matter what kind of camera you use. Happy shooting!
