Get some interior shots especially the tach. See if it has the HR motor and if the redline is set at 7500. Also I agree with everyone, that hood is fugly. I dont know what Nissan is doing. Since 05, they are making the Z uglier. Also that carbon silver doesnt look anywhere as good as silverstone does.

Should've made the hood look similar to the Do-Luck hood if they wanted to make it bulge out like that IMO. Seems a bit boxy looking. I'm interested in seeing the new colors & what's under the engine bay. Would that be the new Carbon Silver pictured above? I hope not since it looks too close to SS. Might as well made it a smoke color which Nissan offers. I don't understand why Nissan made similar colors to begin with such as Liquid Aluminum vs. Chrome Silver & Interlagos Fire vs. Brickyard. Could the new colors be San Marino Blue vs. Daytona Blue, Solar Orange vs. LeMans Sunset, & Carbon Silver vs. Silverstone? 
BTW...clean ride KanGuru. Vertex Army Rules! LOL.

So just the hood?
I'm not sure the hood is a positive change, but it's not that bad. Definitely have to see it in person to make a final opinion. With all the engine mods and extra power, the '07 will be another step ahead, regardless of the hood.
Remember all the threads about the bi-xenon headlights and how people hated the look. Well the bi-xenons are better, plain and simple. And I think it's a non-issue with most everyone now. People are against change and need time to adjust. With time, I see the hood being well received and people looking to retrofit their 03-06 Zs with the '07 hood.
