Default Tony and I were able to get our hands ona 35th Anniversary.....

but unfortunately it was the automatic 287HP trim. We took it out for a test drive and tried to inspect any changes but realized that it was the 287 version not the 300 version. Stupid us. We did take some pics though, it will be uploaded soon. We will keep you guys updated as soon as we get our hands on a new Track or 6MT 35th Anniversary of the revisions.

What are your thoughts on the 35th? Just special (well not really) badging, different wheels, and two-tone seats.

I'm assuming dealers will be gouging these like they did the 03's and roadster's when they first came out. Something called ADM, Added Dealer Markup,

Well what better way to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of the Z? Im sure people will feel like Nissan couldve done a better job of the 35th Anniversary but to each their own. If I was on the market to buy a Z (which I am) it would be hard to overlook the 35th Anniversary but as an enthusiast as well I would probably get a lower trim Z and start building it from there but on the other hand, if I was just looking to buy a Z and not wanting to mod it at all, the 35th would definitely be a strong option to go with.

I am rather disappointed with the 35th Anniversary model . Besides the 300HP for the 6MT, I can't believe that Nissan did not do more to differentiate this model from the other models .

If you look at the previous Anniversary Model Z's, they all had something distinctively different about them to make them special. This model just does not excite me .

Its says 35th anniversary on the window sticker! Hehehe.
Yeah, it was just like any other auto to me. The brakes however on the car were ok, i'm used to my non-brembo stockers (until my stoptechs come in). I personally like the seats, and the wheels, but I don't like the wheels on the car. If they were on a diff. car...... No special badging or anything anywhere.

Is that a power antenna, or is that just a stub on which to screw in the stock antenna?

Well just a thought everyone... The touring doesnt come with the Brembo brakes.... the 35th does... I really wanted those brakes... and the automatic.. sooo I went for the 35th ann. for the rarity factor + brakes... plus from all other versions of cars... the Anniversary models hold their collectors value VERY well!

its basically a touring/track hybrid, so the price isn't out of line. It does have different colored side Z emblems.

Can you guys take a picture of those, I'd like to see the champagne color on silverstone.
