Awesome pics, how were people looking at you when you were down on your knees getting the undercarriage shots? I wish my Z had a glove compartment, everytime I get pulled I have to move the passenger seat forward to get my registration!

It has been growing on me and I like it alot, but the rear bumper is so f'n ghey, hopefully there will be some aftermarket kits that dealerships install on every single 370Z before letting people drive off the lot like that.

The new Z looks great in person. I saw all kinds of dislike about the 07 hood hump but that is not mentioned much anymore. This Z design is much easier to like and appreciate right away than the G37 coupe to the G35 coupe.
I get to drive it from Phoenix to Houston on the tour!

Nice job on the amateur pics. It shows the real deal! I'll try not to forget a measuring tape when I go see it this weekend.
I'm wondering why Nissan did a y-pipe to a big b-pipe then to two separate pipes on the exhaust when they could have gone straight back?

From the description, it states 8 speaker. I'm assuming the doors get 3-way, but I'm not sure where the midrange is (typically by the door handle, but not in the photos I've seen lately). The service manual illustrates the midrange driver placed by the driver/passenger shoulder area (funky). Can someone confirm a center channel?
Standard is 4-speaker, so it looks like we don't have to worry about tearing up the interior just to get to the rear speakers. However, I'm a tad worred about SQ of 2-way setups. I was hoping to find a spot for the midrange driver without ruining the "stock" look.
Lastly, for the NISMO owners. Are the body parts urethane? I'm opting out of aftermarket fiber parts that are not all that functional (besides CF lip).

Maybe the bland front dash is what did it for me.. I dunno..
True its just a picture but the quality "looked" questionable from what i see.
Personally i would never buy a base model so im sure the higher Touring and Grand Touring will look way better!!!..

THANK YOU FOR FINNALY GETTING ME SHOTS OF THE DAMNED SUSPENSION.
It looks very very very similar to the 350z setup. If its the exact same crap as it, I wont be getting a 370z.
