-Liberal use of carbon fiber including revised front bumper, side skirts, rear bumpers and new larger spoiler

-Stiffer springs, dampers, as well as larger sway bars

-Increased adhesive bonding in the chassis and structural seam welding to increase overall rigidity

-Redesigned seats, steering wheel, pedals, gauges, and shifter

-Exclusive Matte silver paint with red accents (LA Auto Show version)

-Gloss black 20" Rays wheels wrapped in 255-40RF-20 Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT600 DSST Tires

The American version won't get a lot of the stuff such as the seats for example.

They are holding amazing value on the used market so far.

I don't care for all the exposed carbon on this car, but overall it still looks good. Too much add-on stuff IMO.

There's a great video about an hour long about how they developed the car and how they smashed the Nurburgring lap record. I'm glad its not gone the way of previous Z's by getting more and more bloated and heavy.

The matte silver looked good in person with the black/cf accents

I am of course biased though with silver & black accents
