Thanks for the vid. . . you know what I hate most about this car? Is that stupid rear bumper that they tack the diffuser on to. I mean over all the car has some nice curves, then you get hit with this HUGE rectangle with the diffuser.

yeah its hideous. If I were in the market for a brand new Z (and I was until recently) I would just buy all the internal Nismo stiff and leave thier body kit crap on the shelf where it belongs.
For gods sake I hope Nissan eventually offers a twin turbo version like they did with the old 300. I mean, with all the R&D going into the Skyline they could offer a "baby" skyline for those that cant drop $75,000 on a car but want to one day..or for those that want a FR platform car and dont really wan AWD.
I mean, Toyota is planning to offer a turbo version of thier next Supra. Mazda is supposedly in the works with a new Rx-7 and Honda is working on a new S-2000. Also the new Mustang is more powerful then the 350z and, more importantly, can be easily modded to 400 plus horsepower and with moderate suspension mods and tuning can outhandle the 350z. The new BMW 335i offers a sweet twin turbo V-6. Plus, porsche is rumored to be working on the next "cheap" porsche..read = new 968 and 944 turbo.........the 350z is gonna have some serious competition especially considering that the roadster version can go for $40,000 with the right boxes ticked. Thats serious money for that car!!!!.
I know Nissan plans to make a 3.8 liter V-6 for thier next big update to the 350z. Im gonna hold off and hope they turbo that motor eventually. The day Nissan offers a factory turbo option for the 350z (or will it be 380z by then hehe???) is the day I drive down to my local Nissan and put in a deposit. Dead serious.

Wow, I think that dude called it a supercar. That thing is as far away from being a supercar as a Mustang GT........Its ugly too.

That bumper is "similar" to the one the Super GT 350Z uses
