What's wrong with the Bose system?

For the price of moving to the touring model, its easy to get a much, much better system. I personally plan on spending about $550 for aftermarket leather (no heat, unfortunately), which leaves me about another $1500+ to put in a nice aftermarket sound system.

I just ordered my first Z
I just ordered an 06, Silverstone, Touring Roadster, 6-speed with the burn orange ventilated leather seats and navigation system. I spent two months trying to find this combination with no luck. The dealership took my order last Saturday and my car will be here in August.
I have not seen any Z with the burnt orange interior on the roadster, Im nervous now that I ordered it that when it comes I will not like it.... I think Im just getting paranoid.... Im sure I will love it.

If you find out you really don't like the burnt orange, I'll gladly trade you for the black one's out of my nearly new (1,100 miles) '05 ZR.

You will love the vented seats...I have had a Silverstone burnt orange and nav. I was lucky enough to one of the first ones allocated to Canada 3 years ago - but I spent a year waiting for the car.
Having vented seats is great - they really help to keep you cool, never burn your *** on the hot leather, and comfortable too. The orange is also a nice addition to the orange lights and instrumention. I am sure you will love it.

If it makes any of you guys feel better, I ordered ours in early spring of 2003, when they first started taking orders for them. It did not come in until November of 2003, about 6-months later. It's a 2004 Touring 6-Speed with Nav, Silverstone with Burnt Orange Vented Seats. Luckily when it came in we had a nice weekend and got to enjoy it till Sunday night. Monday it snowed.
If I were to do it over again the only thing I would change would be to not have the Nissan Nav. It's nice but if you plan on upgrading the stereo you can do better and use less space. The cubby is a great space for gauges too.
All those who have taken delivery congrats and I'm sure you are enjoying it. To those who have orders and are waiting for delivery, it is worth the wait. And if anyone is reading this who is considering buying one and has not pulled the trigger yet, Do It! You only live once and this is a great car.
Thanks,
Gary

Ive got the super black roadster with the burnt orange seats and I matched it up with a real wood dash kit that matches the orange seats from new york city dashes. Be prepared to pay top dollar.

I had to wait 6 weeks to get my with the ventilated seats.. I got lucky that they had couple on order and were being shipped over from japan so I was able to put a deposit on it... Once they hit the dealership lots they go fast....

The ZR is a different animal from the coupe. Hardly ever discounted and rare. Worldwide production is 5000 annually, I believe. I, myself, like the exclusivity. By comparison, the BMW M3 has a worldwide distribution of 8000. The Audi S4 is 5500. Pretty good company.
