Yeah, I heard about this one. I think it's called the "Pikes Peak 4WD 350Z". I think they are using the same AWD design as their GT-R's. I say why not...they already did an AWD G35. Hmm? Wonder if they'll ever sell an AWD version of the Z on the market. That'll be sweet.

I think that was the car with the RB26DETT and AWD. I remember someone posting pics long ago, there were two cars, they used it for Pikes Peak I think?

Yes, these are the pikes peak cars. The other one is blue with white wheels if I remember correctly. I've got a pic of it in action somewhere on my PC.

I don't think people would change their mind if the Z got AWD. AWD isn't really the selling points of the GTR...it's power, handling (kind of relates to AWD), and quality is.

AWD is all hype in my opinion.

Yes, it gives a nice launching advantage but the minuses of such a system, even an advanced one like ATESSA, outweigh the advantages. This is just my opinion though.
I love the feeling of RWD.
