Wow.. lemme try to wipe some retard off this thread and add some real questions...
So. I ordered my 08 last month. Did it at the dealer... we had to use the 07 config guide because they hadn't received their updated material for 08s yet.
I choose: 6-speed Manual, GT, Side Airbags, Kick plates, cargo.
No Navi. (will do that my self).
They called it into the ordering center and confirmed the options/placed
the order while I was there. Neat.
Today I went to www.nissanusa.com (because I'm obsessed) and see that the 2008 Z is on there to "build". Cool.
When you choose the GT now, and 6-speed manual, You MUST also include the Navi-Side and curtain airbags. I unchecked the Navigation and it tells you that will force the config to be a 5speed automatic :-/
It also looks like if you de-select the airbags it removes the navi.. weird.
I went for the side curtains cause any safety I can get is a plus...
On average a manual transmission is cheaper to purchase then an-automatic. I assume that they force the manual GT's to come with more options so that you spend just as much money as the automatic... It's probably a matter of them cutting costs by limiting config options..who knows.
I'm wondering if my 08GT will come with a Navigation option... even though I didn't order that part.. would be neat supprise I guess.

I have 08MB 6MT with Nav Bluetooth.
Coming from 06 6MT. The 08 is much nicer, the whole car feels better smoother faster. When I was in my 06 the car would hop when you hit a dump. The 08 does not do that at all. Very cool.
The HR eng is one sweet Eng to have.

i test drove a used 04 & 06. then drove a new '08. there was no comparison....the '08 was like an entirely different car from the used ones. i could not tell any difference betweeen the '07 and '08s. i ended up paying $1500 more for an '08 -vs- the '07 earlier this month (no dealer incentives on the '08s).

If your 08 comes with a Nav system, can you remove it without goofing up anything on your dash? For that matter, if someone bought an 07-08 without Nav, could it be added at a later date?
Dude..
