i don't like the rims either - look heavy even though they may or may not be

notice they don't have the 3 Z trademark dots the other wheels have

are these wheels on the 05 track model or are they still the normal traditional track rims?

 

I think the wheels are the best part, next to the revised internals.

Of course, I get the feeling most people who buy this 300 HP model will replace the wheels, they really are nice for stock. Like someone else said, they remind me of the RX-8 wheels I like a lot.

 

ill switch you i got an 03 enthusiast with a little less than 30k miles on it...deal?

 

Congrats, to be honest I thought yellow was the only color available for the 35th anniversary edition.

Personally, I would have a hard time justifying the $14k premium your car was over mine...(even if I could afford it!) Of coarse your car will have a more significant resale value, but I plan on adding the LSD, lights, and other products as time goes on. Not to be negative, just making an observation.

 

Money is no object when love is involved.

 

Word man

 

Looking Good my man! Now then....... Let's tak about "MODS"!

 

I always thought the 35th anniversary edition was only available in yellow. The silver looks great man, I like the rims.

 

Sweeet. I have a deposit on a black one just like it. If all goes well, she's mine tomorrow.

 

very nice

 

Looks great, Doc. Nissan just called me and our Yellow 35th just rolled off the truck. Been waiting since November and now the last 5 hours are killing me. Ours is the 5spdauto cost from the dealer was $36281, plus tags and taxes will run me about $3k. No nav or sat radio on ours.

 

When are we going to read about driving impressions of the new 300hp engine? For crying out loud people!

 

I think I read somewhere that the 35th comes in Yellow, Silverstone or Black. That does seem like a pretty hefty price over my Touring (8K difference)

 

one note....how can they give out impressions when they have only driven the 300hp................maybe

 

Someone dyno the 300HP!, please

 

I just got a super black 35th last weekend and i havent been able to push it past 4k rpm cuz im still breaking the engine in, so i cant really comment on the 300hp but the sound it makes when i start her up is sweeeet...

i havent been able to wash my car yet either cuz of all the damn rain here in so cal. once the rain stops, ill wash, polish and wax and post up the pics...

 

Sweet 35th dude!

Now can someone weigh one of those "RX8" rims and report on the wheel weight?

 

Yes that is a very good idea..!!!

 

I have the 300hp motor and have past my own break-in period (did 600 easy miles under 4.5k, couldnt wait till 1200 heh). Basically from test driving an 04 touring model and my own Z, i dont notice much of a difference from 0-60 or 1st and 2nd gears, but the top end pull from 5k-up is much nicer. Its not a huge leap that people may want to think, but i love the higher powerband and smooth power delivery... pulls strong to the redline and feels like a vtec engagement. Id say its just a .10th or two quicker in the quarter mile given equal drivers. I was really surprised how nice the stock exhaust sounds on this car, and have gotten many positive compliments on its unique tone.

 

Ya, it sounds Italian.
