I'm just going to hang onto and have fun with my 03 for now. I'd rather wait till the an all new Z arrives later in the decade. I'm betting on a much more aggressive look and HP increases @ that time. All these little changes going on now don't seem worth trading in my Z every year or two and paying more money. Performance IMHO is just about the same as it was in the beginning so I'm waiting for substantial <== (probably spelled wrong) changes.

Info is straight from Nissan Canada. The other guy is me, and yes it's true. Yup, 18's.

Most likely in late '07 as an '08 model if there are no delays. Infiniti will have an AWD twin turbo V6, and a RWD V8 (Skyline GTR). Nissan might get the V8, or tuned version of the 4L 6. It will be much more agressive.

Shiaza! All these new bells and whistles sound really enticing! But there is no way I could of waited a few more months. My guess is the price tag will go up a little. Bigger wheels, bigger brakes, bi-xenon, not to mention that people have said the rev up motor(300hp) runs and sounds smoother, I wouldn't be surprised.

Do all models get the staggered Forged 18 front 19 rear wheels? Or only the grand touring?
What models get the Bembro breaks? Or do all, only the higher models get larger breaks?
Do all models CD players play MP3's?
Thanks for all the great info Blue Komodo!
I think you convinced me to wait till the 06's come out.

I already got a quote for an 06 enth. Z 6 speed for 27980. But i'm really hoping to get the 05 just because i could put the front lip veilside ver.1. I don't really like the style of the headlights.
