Default Our Package was Crap compared to this

JmanZ,

After hearing of the CD and DVD you received, I feel the pre-order population got ripped. I would have thought that Nissan would want all pre-order folks to have media highlighting the Z's history, why on earth would only press kits contain this.

Kinda of steamed here.

Finally the enigmatic golf club dilemma has been answered.!!

That was the most pressing issue of the day. Now if we can get some better idea about the cupholder I would be in Nirvana!!


PS: All else aside...thanks for posting the pics! Simply outstanding!

Default Pic No. 8 is awasome!

I wish I'm the driver in picture number 8. Those twisted roads, just you and what's in front of you

The one with the golf bags are kind of funny...don't know why, just funny

Thanks for the pics JmanZ. Keep them coming!!

I am sure the stats that came in the press pack were the same as the CD. Even if the stats changed somehow before production begins I am sure the press packs and the CD's were made about the same time.

You're probably right; they were no doubt produced months ago.

But does JmanZ have any different or new specs? Will he post them today if he does? Just wondering.

I'm curious why people seem to think there are "new stats" out there when they've already been leaked. Are we talking about different stats?

The last I heard was 287 HP. Just wondering if this is in fact the final HP spec.

Alright people, I told you if I got the press kit, you'd get the press kit so here's what I can tell you...

WOW

It arrived via fed ex this morning and the package contained a booklet with a cd that contains press info, stats and a ton og high res photos. When I say high res, I am talking 3000 X 3000 pixel area. Big clear stuff. The high res photos though are of Redline, Daytona Blue and LeMans. There are three other photos of Silverstone, Black and Chrome but these three had been seen before. Of the photos of Redline, Daytona and LeMans, I'd say 30% had not been previously released. Maybe 40%?

There was also a "Nissan 350Z CD Pack" that contains 3 discs. One is a 350Z game, one is 350Z music and the third is a 350Z DVD that contains some truly kick *** footage. I am going to rip the dvd and then compress it and downsize it etc... but this will take some time so give me a day or two on the dvd stuff. Especially with it being close to the 4th of July.... it's a busy week for sure.

The DVD features most of the old Z commercials, from 1969 through to 1996. Footage of the final Z rolling off the plant floors in Japan in 96, footage of all the Z car race wins that were major as well. Behind the scenes footage on the creation of the 350Z, including an interview with Ajay Panchal, the main guy behind the new redesign. An interview with Jed Connelly, Senior Vice President of NNA.

(see attached image of the menu for the dvd... it was a fast grab but don't worry, the video I encode will be clear)

I'll also attach some of the photos below this that I hadn't seen before... for those of you on dial up, I'm sorry.

I'll have all of this and more online today/tonight sometime.

for now, to sort of hold you over... here are the extra photos...
I was very impressed
Thanks for sharing this with us J. And it makes since that the images are of such a "high resolution". I'm sure we will see these very same images in various upcoming magazine articles.

Would you only be satisfied if Mr. K himself knocked on your door and took a picture with you? Don't want to start anything, just getting irritated at people that always want more...we should be thrilled with what we got.

Does the Z have a color that it DOESN'T look awesome in?

As a rule, I don't buy your basic red car, but, wow!, the Z looks fantastic in Red.

Good work J.! Now we just need the stats so everyone can enjoy the 4th!

Valdis,

NOT ALL COPS ARE PIGS!!!!!!! And NO, I'm not a cop!! I do have respect for them for the "a" holes they put up with on a day to day basis who think they are above the law!
