Yup, Japan only. That is... until I get one imported in.

excuse the newbishism, but what does it do (other than damping the steering), what benefit does it give the driver. i've only seen steering dampers on bikes before, i didn't even know they had them for cars

My dealer just got two GT models, and I am driving one of them on Friday.

I'm going to hold out for a SMB Enthusiast though.

I'll post a review after I drive it.

its not 3.9FD..its 3.692... and the Z is what, 250lbs lighter? but then the G has a true dual exhaust...hmmm it may be a close call...

it does seem like the 3.9FD would be a really really good match for this engine though...
