Brembo brakes, 306hp VQ engine, nismo suspension with the nismo exclusive functional body kit. i saw this today in a magazine (forgot which one, maybe motor trend? but the centerfold is the ford mustang GT500). comes this summer! price unknown but limited edition. hope you all enjoy

i like the car, only thing i don't like is the price for a 350z with suspension/exhaust/headers. Its more of a collector's 350z.

yeah, the 350z is a little on the expensive side even with few bolt ons. i want to know the performance specs of the US nismo z though, i wouldnt mind test driving one down laguna seca!

I like the front and the two-tone interior. The rear bumper is mad ugly and the price is outrageous. I'd rather get a GTZ and put my own mods in...

I think this [Nismo Z] car appeals only to rich collectors, such as Jay Leno, or those who love to show-off. As in, "look at me! I paid $40k for a limited production car! Worship me!"

Anyone could buy an Enthusiast model, add some Nismo parts and have the exact same car sans the limited edition plate. If you ask me, Nissan should've gave this "edition" a much more exclusive body kit and performace parts. If it came with twin turbos...now you're talking. But headers & a muffler?

BTW, the OEM headers (exhaust manifold) on the HR are pretty well built as is. F/I would be the only mod worth while for the price tag.

plus it's place seems more as a last of the line 350'z for this current body. Alot of car company's release a special edition of a certain vehicle a 1 or 2 before a fresh faced version comes out in order to build hype.

Build hype and to squeeze every last dime out of the public before they release the newer, cooler, faster, lighter, and sexier model! Fu@kers! The 370Z or 350ZX is comming...I can feel it in my nuts...

just wait for the next gen Z car, it can't be that far off. Then again I said the same thing about the new M3 nearly 2 years ago
