Default Specifications anomaly/changes

I have noticed some changes or new items in specifications and then differences in the reviews vice what we received in the pre-release package and the info on Nissan news. For example:
1. A review says that the 350Z has dual electrical fans instead of a fan on the crank. Our pre-lease package pictures/drawings seem to show a belt driven fan.
2. A review mentions an under car diffuser as part of the aero package on the track that is not available on the other models. What is it and can it be ordered?
3. Dual exhaust (single, each side) according to Nissan news. Is this true dual exhaust?
4. What is the size difference in the spare for the Track or is there a difference. I think that we know why it might be different but if so what is the difference (and does it fit any differently into the spare area)?
5. What is a passenger seat fold down?

There may be other changes, new or mis-information. Any one have any confirmed answers?

-the aero package can be ordered. As far as a seperate undercar diffuser that is not available for other models, I would have to assume that it is not available. I read the same thing and disregarded it as just being the front portion of the aero package.

-not true dual, only the muffler is dual. Which is great to me...now we know its pointless to change the muffler if we are not going to convert the whole thing to dual. As a sidenote, the engineers stated that this is the most free flowing exhaust system ever created by nisssan (source: nissannews.com)

-not sure about the spare. First thought was that it should be the same (cost amortization).

-the engineers stated that the driver will be able to easily fold the passenger seat down while still seated and buckled in. This will be important for accessing things inside of the "glove" box.

3) I agree with and have foloowed the thread, but the Nissan news specs say single each side, at least to me this confusing.
4) That is why there is a difference but do they get a compact spare on a different wheel or ??
5) Yes according to some reviews and Nissan new the passenger seat folds???

2. it can be ordered for $40
3. not true dual exhaust
4. track/non-track spares are different size.
5. the passenger seat tilts forward when you left a lever on the back of it so you can get at the storage behind.

What about the Weight distribution? 52/48 in our info packet, 53/47 in all the new reviews.

Here's a pic of my Tamiya model. It is supposedly pretty "anatomically correct". Does this tell you anything about the exhaust?

As long as Nissan is saying this is the freest flowing exhaust they have ever created, I think we are in good shape.
