Here is the low res series that Jeff shot on Friday afternoon at Nissan HQ. I will post the high res series on Saturday after receiving them from Jeff.
In other news, I am going to buy a Redline 350Z after seeing the car's final color. I already have a LeMans Sunset Touring on order but since it is too late to change that, I will keep the Le Mans so I don't go to the end of the waiting list. I will sell it shortly after getting it and hopefully capatilize on some desperate person that missed the boat regarding the Z. I will then contact any and all dealers and find myself a RedLine meeting my specs and be happy with my choice.
This really sucks. I had originally ordered Daytona, but then changed it to LeMans. After seeing the Daytona, I wish I'd kept it. Nothing against LeMans.... just that in my humble opinion... Daytona really screams sports car.
The Redline... wow, all i can say is wow. I knew it's be sweet. I've never seen a Red Z that looked bad but yes, the police will love it as well. I guess it's lucky for me I don't speed. (much)

Thanks again Jeff, you are without a doubt, the man.

I have to admit I think the Silverstone is pretty nice, after seeing these. The "official" Nissan pic doesn't do it justice.
Oh, one other quick point: People keep commenting "hey notice it's the same plate that was on the Brickyard? (or Chrome, or whatever). EVERY car I've seen driving around Nissan's facility has this plate, so I'm guessing it's not to ID the car, but the manufacterer.
Even the security van's have it.

Center Console/Door Panel Controls
I took a couple pictures of the above, to try and show what controls are located where. The center console has 2 buttons to adjust the power seats - one for each seat.
The driver's side door panel has 4 buttons - 1 door lock, 2 window buttons, and another button which I can only assume is a window lock button.

Jeff, in case there was ANY doubt -- YOU RULE!
I am very happy with the Silverstone now. That is my exact car in your pics. I can't f*&^ing wait!
And Jmanz, I totally agree that the Redline is stunning. Sorry to hear you're going to have a little hassle now that you decided to sell the LeMans and get a Redline. But I completely understand!

Jman, I have to agree that the Redline is pretty awesome. I'd alwyas said that the only car I'd get in red would be a Ferrari, but I'm not so sure about that.
The irony in this is that we'll all be driving around in our new Z's and you'll be waiting for your red one.

Just like I told you last night, today is YOUR day. Your pictures already help some Silverstone folks get over their heartburn last night, and you're busy being interviewed by faithful forum members.
On the center console subject, you mentioned that it has 2 buttons for power seats. When I saw the RHD model at the Dallas auto show, the power seat buttons is ON the front corner of the seat itself (next to the console), just like the one on the G35. tdcz and I also had discussion on this subject several days ago. See the picture that he attached in that link, third from last for reference:

Since you are the only one saw the real production model up close, did you see the little cutout for seat button on the right front corner of the driver seat, next to the parking break handle? I just wonder if those change in the production car and how are those buttons related to the one you referred to in the center console (which one do what). I am glad that you will talk back to me, unlike nissandriven.com.

Attached is a blow-up of the 2 buttons that are in the center of the center console. These are the seat adjustment buttons I was originally referring to. I have rotated it 180 degrees, as it was taken through windshield. I'll also attach a blow-up of the door panel buttons.

Yes, the cutout in the seat was still there on the Silverstone model.I had tried to get a picture of it, because I remembered your previous discussions on it. But all I got were reflection pictures of me. The car was locked, so I couldn't clearly see the actually buttons that were in the notch, but they kind of looked like two dials. Maybe those are the heat controls for the seats?

Thanks for enlarging and rotating those button picture. You must read my mind, I have to turn my notebook up side down today tried to see the icon on the button of the picture. After seeing the picture with legible icon, there is arrow about the seat, one pointing toward left, one pointing toward right. Also, there are some lines above the seat. My guess right now: those are button for the heated seat, one for each seat.
I suspect that the power seat adjustment buttons are on the seat itself, just like the G35. On the G35, the one that adjust the seat up and down looks exactly the same as the windown button.
Thanks for your first class spy work, Jeff.

will you still love her in the morning ?
since as someone noted... the redline picture was taken in the evening with different lighting, of course...
Will be interesting to see if this baby is still as beautiful under full lighting.
Still love the Silverstone ... but was shocked by the Redline picture == simply stunning.
