WOW, they moved the dipstick, it might be worth the upgrade just to get that.
And in person the hood does not look as big as it does in pics.

The new 07's come standard with the much better Brigestone RE050 tires.

Yes that is correct. Even though it only makes 6hp more then its predecessor the new HR motors feel like a different beast, i drove a G35 that had the new VQ35HR and that thing was a mover...imagine a much lighter 350Z with the same powertrain....hehe only gets better

The picture exaggerates the hood buldge a bit, in person its not anywhere as bad as it may seem in the picture.

the 7500RPM redline and the new engine are great, but the hood ruins the lines on the Z IMO, but a great car nonetheless

I like the cowl personally, it's more like the original Datsun Z.

Which makes sense when you think how the original was a straight six and this being a V6.

Or if you think of a Z as a woman the comparision might also makes sense (ouch).
