Oh that's right I forgot that was in the works. No, I'll just wait for the 2012 Archbishop edition Z with no doors, no body to save weight, 3 MPG, an engine, 1 carbon fiber shell seats with no padding and four wheels with tires that have super grip, but only last an hour.

Yes, I dislike the car that much.
If you really want to see me laugh, show me someone who decided to set up from a basic enthusiast, to a moderate level, and start to modify the car is some way. That's classic.

Autoblog is the most reliable sources of auto news. It is VERY likely that the car in that photo is not even a Nissan. Many car companies are using other car skins as cover ups for their concept cars now; in order to beat spy photographers to the punch. It is TOO MUCH coincidence that a NEW Nissan would be side my side testing with a NEW Toyota super car...virtually impossible coincidence
LINK: http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/18/i...ta-ft-hs-mule/
"There have now been two sets of spy photos that have turned up showing a development mule wearing a hacked up Nissan 350Z body. At first everyone assumed it was a Nissan vehicle. However, in the background of the most recent batch of spy photos, a mystery car has been identified by our readers as one of the Lexus LF-A prototypes.
Since the photos were taken on public roads, it seems highly improbable that the LF-A would just happen to be in the same location as Nissan's latest mule. Taking a look at the Z mule in profile shows proportions pretty close to the FT-HS concept that turned up at the Detroit Auto Show. So this truncated Z is more likely a test platform for a production version of the FT-HS/Supra/whatever you want to call it that's been cleverly disguised in the clothes of another brand." - Autoblog

Shucks, your 350z will be outdated in 1 year.

It most definitely is a Nissan...
1 - I spoke to the driver, who was at the ADAC Nurburgring 24 race the day before the photos were taken
2 - The plate is a Nissan test plate
The reason that there were Nissan, Toyota, Lexus, Lamborghini, Porsche, Audi test cars all driving around Nurburg the day after the race, is that all the top test drivers were involved in one way or another with the race
Simple really

Also, Autoblog is far from the most reliable news source. They posted a story about the new STI with with spy photo's when the car was in fact a U.S. Toyota Blade/Matrix mule. They are not really that accurate.

The entry level rear wheel drive is coming. We will probably see it as a Renault first. The car was announced, and should be at the Frankfurt show in concept form.

Your posts are officially worthless, and utterly annoying.
So, by your logic...anyone who drives a roadster Z is striving to prove their superficially vain tool side? haha...wow. Good call. I agree that the ZR ruins the Z's lines. But that's just my opinion. someone who disagrees, i'm sorry to inform you, isnt' automatically a tool.
P.S. your last 2 sentences make ZERO sense.
