from what the manager at my dealership says (real cool guy and enthusiast has a 03 z with greddy tt and built motor) only cosmetic changes will be taking place as they did not have to send any of their lead mechanics for training only done when major changes happen (i.e. when rev-up motors came out)

There wont be any changes as they have only just given it a face lift.

Rev up motor and zero miles = I'll be most likely going for an 06. If I can get the dealer to about 26,500, she's mine. That's about $500 below the invoice of $27,144 for an Enth. Sound about rite?

Wow only cosmetic changes makes me I went ahead and got an '06. I figured they'd change the track model a bit..make it lighter, and add a bit more power. The track model should come with 350hp at the wheels like the Nimso RS concept car in the new SuperStreet.

Default Thanks for the post & link mc350z!

I know it's minimum info - but don't you love it that the Z is on the bottom? BTW - 1st of the year (2007) sounds wrong. As stated above, Sept - Oct sounds right.

350Z Coupe and 350Z Roadster

The 2007 Nissan 350Z is scheduled to go on sale in January 2007. The changes for the new model year will include new exterior colors, a new gray colored convertible top (Roadster models), Active Head Restraints and performance enhancements including a new VQ35HR engine.

The 2007 350Z will again be available in Coupe and Roadster body styles and in an array of models – five for the Coupe, including a Grand Touring model, and three for the Roadster (including the Grand Touring automatic transmission version).

More information on the 2007 Nissan 350Z will be available at a later date

So the 7800 RPM VQ35 Will be available? Thats good for what, another 15hp?

I doubt it will be too extreme.... if it is, it will KILL all the 350Z owners that autocross or track their cars. They will simply have an inferior vehicle.

One of the benefits that you guys might miss when you think about waiting for a "next gen" is that a lot of the problems have been worked out of the current Z models.

I was very glad to see that most of the major issues are gone with the 06 models. You will be sure to see a whole new lineup of issues with the next generation of Z's

Might not be a bad incentive to buy an 06

In reading about the HR Motor, it says the "beefed-up" the internals. Wonder if they will be a little more FI friendly?
