My guess is the Z will:

Have 18 or 19's so they can sticker them up like the $1200 option now.
And all engines will have the 05 Track Engine.

I would guess the major changes are in 07/08!

Hell I have no idea, we'll wait and see, but I can tell you the changes most likely will not be major since the 35th/Grand Touring just came out. And those were not that special, oops did I say that.

Then your boss needs to fire you ASAP for posting this bull$hit. Your telling us that they are going to go through ANOTHER body change (slight but still a change) from the greatest looking z of them all?

I'm gonna call BS on this. In Automobile they had a news blurb about a hardcore Z, GT3-style coming out in 07. I don't think they would give the Z wider tires, wider fenders, and more power, and then come out with an even faster version a year later.

Until NNA releases something, everyone who has an insider tip is full of donkey dust.

you guys don't really pay any attention to the automobile industry do you....manufacturers do this to boost sales near the end of the current model's term when sales start to level out. Changes are made to attract late buyers. For example, look at Audi and their RS line...obviously most RS cars will not reach the North American market (with exception to the RS 6). The RS line is always released about 1 or 2 years before a new redesigned model is released. BMW did it with their E46 3 series with the facelift...1 1/2 years later E90. The Honda S2000 went through minor body changes about a year ago...expect a new model soon. Whether its a simple aestheic change or a performance upgrade....its all a marketing technique so customers perceive it as "something special" or a new product.

i'm not saying that i agree with the expected changes from the first post but changes are due for the Z.

Regardless of the # of posts ppl have, take their info for what it is. No need to get personal about it. If you don't believe it, no one is gonna try to spoon it thru ur @ss Speculation is part of the game.

And as Swift mentioned, manufacturers do make minor changes to keep their sales afloat. In my previous post, I said I believe him because the '05 RSX just got new headlights, taillights, bumpers, power, and interior updates from the '02-'04.

As with the other automobile sites/magazines, their info is also speculative just like this thread As for creditibility, well, that depends on you. But I equalize them all the same until the car comes out.
