If your referring to the European GT4 edition, that is the same thing as our 35th Anniversary model. There are no special models in Japan or Europe that aren't available here.

The Fairlady Z type E aka 350 z GT? I don't know, I read that on here. If you look around the Z COUPE forums you'll see pics of the TYPE E, I thought it was called the GT in the states.

I hear the exhaust will be replaced by a single pierced coffee can 6 inches in diameter

Also type R stickers will come standard as well as 4 foot high rear wing.

They are also stopping production of manual transmissions and only keeping automatic, however there will be an option that puts it on neutral right before starting so you can look like you're cool enough to have a manual transmission.

The 3 instrument pods will be made twice as big to look even more cool.

Oh, ok. I know which one your talking about. I thought he meant the GT4 AKA "Gran Turismo" edition that is equivalent to our 35th Anniversary model.

As for the Type E, I wouldn't expect it to come over here anytime soon. In Japan, it costs the equivalent of $60k USD. Considering most Z's you can get here go for $25-40k, I think its going to be hard for someone to justify spending $15k more on a car that is a little longer, little wider, and has some Nismo parts.

Yes, the next Z will come with curb feelers, neon lights, ball massagers and all the bells and whistles. In addition, its new-and-improved tranny will not only grind going into 2nd and 3rd, but it will also grind going into 4th, 5th, and 6th, as well as reverse. Rumors from credible sources say that it will even grind in neutral, with the top-of-the-line model grinding while the engine's off.

Here is a spy shot of the redesigned Z caught testing at Germany's famous Nurburgring race track....

I've been popping into that website for years ... I'm not sure we'll ever see anything more than the prototype

:lol: They'd have to fold up under a toneau cover or something though, otherwise it would be too wide for when we're "taxi'ing" on the streets.
