Default 08 Z or 09 370Z?

I currently have a 03 Performance with 37k miles, I want to upgrade but im not sure what to go with. Previously I traded in my current Z for a 07 Base and hated it, got my 03 back and got my wife a Versa. This time i want to sell my 03 privately and get a 08 enthusiast, but according to a manager at the stealership, they're not shipping anymore 08s due to the 370Z coming out in about 3 months? I dont know what to believe, I mean, hes a manager at a nissan dealership . What have you guys heard about the new Z?

Go with the 08 enthusiast. I picked up mine two weeks ago. Don't believe the stealership.

won't you just put a power lab single turbo kit on your car and call it a day. I never understand why people upgrade to the same body style. You can always make the car faster actually much faster than the 07-08z or the 370z.
Plus hopefully the 370z wont have those ugly boomerang lights, ugghhhh.

you mean 450Z..... but i personally want to see a 560Z with badass advance CVT!!! Like a 400+hp Z!!! I'm gonna go off topic but I sure can't wait for some crazy Japanese tuner to put the R35 GTR motor into a Z33 and call it a 470Z!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holly **** I was laughing so hard feeling bad for the dude who said 380Z and then I saw my first thread and noticed I worte 360Z instead of 370Z.* I hated the 07 base because the lack of Diff and the suspension and clutch felt soft, more like an acura type Slow, I looved the engine though, thats why I now want a 08 enthusiast.

Reliability and warranty. I dont want to make it faster, the stock Z is a hell of a fun track car, you can make it better, i.e. BB kit, suspension, or learn to drive it better, not bolt a turbo kit on it.
