Yep, quick search reveals this:

Nissan Technical Center North America, Inc. Arizona Testing Center
7815 North White and Parker Road, Stanfield, AZ 85272-9642

I looked at it on Google Maps but it seems that there just so happens to be a cloud in the pic, so you can't see the facility in too great detail.

...hopefully I like it a lot more when they come out.

I'm into the hood bump also but, maybe they just left the hood bump from the 08 models?

I doubt that nissan will SC a Z. ..and if they did, the more power to them.

Edit: ..literally.

I'm not "super" excited about it but I'm also glad enough of the 350 is still apparent in the 370 that I will be happy to keep my 06 for a while.

Hm.. The only thing standing between me and the new Z is a few rolls of black duct tape!

Thx for the pics - I'm finally interested.

That would be sick if it had a targa top option. I love targas. Nothing like cruising down the road in our C6 with the targa off. Would be nice if this next Z would have it as an option.

Too short and stubby looking. They should have kept it the length of the 350.

Any one else notice how the a pillar meets the roof?

It looks horrible. Like they didnt curve it. They meet at an angle. I hope its just the camo.

1. Notice side view, looks like real or fake air intake taped over?

2. Rear view shows no rear wiper. I never use mine on my 350 so I apprecite it if it was gone.

I think it's just the camo tape. Some other people have reported it is similar to our stock spoiler, except it is raised up off the deck lid an inch or so.

All that stuff is probably just fake crap. Ive seen some wacky camo in the past.

Took a shot at interpreting the body lines through all the tape and glass reflections. Looks pretty aggressive to me:
