I'd get a black one, then black out the taillights and headlights (like the Aston Martin), this way those weird looking cuts on the head/tail lights wouldn't be so apparent :dontknow:

I don't think I'll ever get used to the new Nissan / Infiniti lights.

Sad to say but I'm pretty sure the FX will be my last Nissan/Infiniti...

I was thinking about saving towards a GTR as my dream car, but after hearing about the transmission issues, I've changed my mind...
 
Leaked: NISMO 370Z

TOKYO — Even before the Nissan 370Z makes its official debut at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show in two weeks, a photo of a performance-minded NISMO model has found its way onto the Internet.
The photo first appeared on 370ZTech.com without any accompanying text. Details on mechanical upgrades haven't been revealed, but the car is clearly sporting a spoiler, rear apron and side sills different from those of the standard 370Z.
The leaked photo shows the car wearing a Fairlady Z badge, as the 370Z is called in Japan. However, it's likely that some form of NISMO 370Z will also show up here in America. NISMO's current 350Z offering in the U.S. is equipped with lightweight Rays wheels, a sport suspension, an upgraded exhaust system, a limited-slip differential, reinforced body welds and a tweaked body.

The all-important power rating of the all-new Nissan 370Z has finally been revealed, and 248kW (332hp) is the magic number.

That’s 18kW (24hp) more than the current 350Z, 78kW (104hp) more than a Mazda RX-8, 31kW (41hp) more than a Porsche Cayman S and - gasp - 9kW (12hp) more than a 911 Carrera. As expected, it’s even a few kilowatts higher than the V36 Nissan Skyline 370GT, with which the Z34 370Z shares the same basic 3.7-litre VQ37VHR engine.


Further improvements have also been made aft of the motor, with the standard automatic now sporting seven ratios and a pair of paddle shifters. The six-speed manual receives an intriguing piece of kit: an automatic throttle-blipping function to smooth out downshifts. Couldn’t heel-toe even if your life depended on it? No worries, the car will do it for you!

The body is more rigid than the outgoing model, there’s greater use of lightweight materials and despite the similarities in appearance, there’s virtually no carry-over between the 350Z and the 370Z. News that will certainly delight those who never warmed to the 350Z’s emotionless body and low-rent interior.

It’s no secret that Nissan is gunning for top spot in the mid-range sports coupe stakes with the 370Z, and considering the car’s new-found grunt, lighter kerb weight, more luxurious cockpit and gorgeous (if somewhat controversial) styling, we’ve no reason to doubt they’ll make it there. With the GT-R taking scalps at the pointy end of the field and the 370Z poised to score even more kills in the middle of the pack, the only thing missing from Nissan’s line-up is a low-cost yet well-balanced RWD sports coupe. Oh wait, that one’s in the works too.

Good find on the headless guy. The rear hitch thing is in all of 'em! I'm just as confused, but we'll find out eventually. At first I thought it was the third brake light in a weird ass spot, but the 3rd brake light is still in the usual spot.

I like the overall look, just haven't really had a chance to let the headlights and tail lights grow on me, and the bubbly/plain rear end reminds me of the newer Eclipse...

I don't know if it's another brake light or just a reflector... but in Asia... a lot of people buy this reflector thingy and attach it to the bottom of the car (towards the back), and it just hangs there... so, I'm thinking it's base on that same purpose...
 
I don't know if any of you got an invite from Stillen, but they are going to have an unveiling event on 11/22/08 from 12pm - 4pm I believe.
