Jazz,

Why would you want to? I spent years modeling
cars in the Auto industry and there are many
many requirements to modeling proper auotmotive surface. Thats not what Zbrush is about at all.
It does not even have tools for measurement.

If you want to build proper class A automotive surface have a look at ICEM Surf, Alias Auto Studio, Catia and the like. If you want to build Grand Turismo/ Internet forum quality cars you can start in Maya, Max and Lightwave with polys.

You dont want to use a screw driver to drive
nails.

Well, I'm about to go to college and want to study some form of design, but don't know which one exactly, yet. The thought of cardesign has crossed my mind, so my question is: when you studied for this, did you choose specificly for car design or is one able to have more of an overall education in design and choose to do cars after having finnished the education?
Hope you can give me some more info. on what my options would be if I'd choose for cardesign, thanx.

Hey Jazz, sorry for kinda starting my own conversation here :) Did you check out matvara's Wheels of fire! (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=015605) topic? I think you should check it out and wait for those snapshots and walkthroughs mentioned there.
Good luck :)
