Are the 40th anny editions going to be worth it and or hard to get?

Not a big fan of NAVs built into the car, you lose too much flexibility.
I prefer a portable NAV unit you can take in and out of your car,
and update on your computer (Tom Tom, Garmin, etc.).
The Touring's "extra" glove box in the center console is the perfect
place for a portable NAV

+rep scruffy! I also had an IS350. What's the big deal about the 40th? If you like the Z why not buy a 2010 model with touring and sport??

I just really happen to like the Graphite color and red interior.

Both which are unavailable on a 2010 Model.

I was disappointed that nav wasn't an available option on NA models, but it wasn't a deal breaker for me. I'll most likely add an aftermarket nav system to satisfy my in-car multimedia/nav needs.

Red interior? Do you mean "wine"?

Wine is the new 2010 interior, but the 40th anniversary gets a red interior exclusively.

All true enough, unk, but I'd wager that people that buy the 40th DON'T plan on modifying their car. If you are going to pay extra for a special paint job and red leather from Nissan, the last thing you are going to do is to try and modify the interior with a new stereo system and nav package. Not to mention what happens to resale values when you try to modify stock equipment, especially commemerative editions.

"True" enthusiasts who do that probably would get their custom paint job, seats, and calipers somewhere else. Less price, Less weight, less price, and more bang for buck.

This is why Nissan is missing the mark here. Nissan... wake up and find a way put navs as an option for 40ths in the US!

Anyone want my 40th yr allocation? PM for details. This is in So Cal. Navi was a deal breaker and I can't order a new one so I have gone ahead and ordered a 2010 TTS. Now on to the 3 month wait.

Those come with 40hp more and are 40lbs lighter, right?

I heard they also come with a different Car cover too that says "40th Anniversary Nismo Z" and a signature badge that says 40th Anniversary edition and a serial number!

I love my 40th, and it gets more looks than the average Z. The color combo, the wheels, and even the brakes are conversation pieces. As for nav, I can use an atlas.

PapoZalsa · 05-15-2010, 10:37 PM

There were three 40th Ann in this area. My friend bought one today. The 370Z is not moving that well anyway doesn't matter what model.

They also have an used 370Z black Nismo on the local Nissan Dealer.

cmancha003 · 05-16-2010, 01:20 PM

I had a 20th anni 280zx. There were 3000 made, 2500 in gold and black, and mine was one of 500 in red and black. There was little to no mark up on them, but I personally think it was due the 1980 being a less than desirable.
