Do you mean the navigation is no longer available on the performance and track models? If so, what models will it be an option?

Damn had I know yellow was coming for sure I might have held off my order on DB 2004. Have any idea what kind of yellow? If it isn't a bright one, then I didn't miss out on it. Thanks

I don't know that HP change would be on here. I doubt it though.

oscar, I don't know. This is more visual change and option change, not engineering differences that people never know about anyway.

Yellow?!? It better be a nice yellow, and not the same faded yellow on the rx-8.

Dam, i really want the new seats with the dual seat adj, that is my only complaint on the seat. If you know anyone who wants to sell their driver seat, black leather with the dual adj, please let me know.

what the hell? something's fishy.
"Interior Front and rear seat lifter std on all models (Driver seat only)"
......since when did the Z have "rear seats"? unless it's talking about the "rear end part" of the driver's side, but that's just weird. oh well.. where's the hp boost??!

I wonder what they do to get to that 305 hp....

Hopefully something that can be done to the current Z's without much trouble....

Other than Horsepower I dont see any changes that would really concern me.

I'm reading the seat release as one like the passengers seat, that would allow you to fold up the drivers seat from behind. Thats no biggie to me. The heated side mirrors would be cool, but I live in MS, so no big thing there either.

I'd just want to be able to get some mods warrantied by Nissan to reach the new 305 hp bit....Assuming it's true...

If done right that yellow could look pretty sick. Do you guys think it will be solid or will it have some anniversary design on it? We'll see.
