It also def has a better ride quality. The interior looks almost the same to me but it seemed a little less cheap in a way somehow. In any case, i cant wait to get my new Z. Ill never have to worry about tire feathering or horrbile tire roar again or my window randomly not working. THANK GOD smiley face abuse to show my excitement

My 07 has slight feathering after 8500 miles. I watched the tires from mile zero every few hundred and it is slowly appearing. Getting louder too. However still a great car. I dont believe alignments will help. Wait till the 370Z.

No, wait for the 2099 550Z that will have ... you guessed it, a 5.5L V8 and 500 hp. Hybrid, helium tires, run-flats, titanium wheels, and a poos-e magnet.

Geez people, if dude wants to get an '08, that's cool mang. The '08 is definitely better than the 03 for all the changes and improvements. You really can't buy that aftermarket.

the window yes, i have a new tranny bc of the recall on the old ones, cd changer is ok now, but i cant stop the tire feathering even with an alignment how do you stop it. At this point its curisoity anyway bc i wont have the car as soon as the new one arrives but it'd be nice to know considering it frustrated me for like 4 years lol

I actually heard that this model already has an antigravity kit available for it. Say goodbye to feathered tires and bent rims!

Actually the 2099 550Z has a Dilithium Crystal drive. You can also upgrade to Folgers Crystals drive.

Congrats! I love my 350z and with mods it's probably similar but I haven't driven an 08. Hmm, maybe a trip to the Nissan dealer for a test drive so I can better compare...
