I agree.

I still want to know if its pre-programmed,via tables or if it blips using a RPM readout; I really want to know if a lighter flywheel is compatible.

I have no idea how it is accomplished but I wonder if a lighter flywheel would mess this up.

It will blip the throttle for you so you don't have to tap the gas pedal when you downshift. All you do is clutch in, downshift, clutch out. It's an AMAZING feature.

BTW why is there a rear fog light... The only reason I could see is that it would be used to light up the ground for a back-up camera. Does it have one?

I like it...but the headlights are a little suspect. The design looks stolen from some lakota Indian's arrow or something. Other than that, I'm loving the old school lines of the car.

The rear fog light is for the European (and maybe the JDM) version. I'd guess that the engineers just left the bumper the same so they wouldn't have to worry about different molds and have a different part number and therefore save costs.

I test drove one on the 1st. It looks great and feels great in person. And yes, as much of a manual purist that I am, I must admit, the synchro rev match feature is neat. I would have VDC / S-Mode off most of the time, as I like doing the rev-matching myself. But its a cool feature to have.

Are those 5-spokes the same as the ones on the later year 350Z's, or different?

I just saw one at one of my local dealers today. That's pretty nice that the factory 19s are staggered with a 10 inch wide wheel and a 275 tire in the rear.

I went to see it the other day along with the new GT-R and the sales guy told me he had no idea what it is. He said it used to be something(can't remember what) but they took it out for some reason and he has no idea what's in there now.
