Nismo or 40th Anniversary POLL

ZPirate

The 40th Anniversary looks awesome! I just wish it also had some performance upgrades (like the Nismo has) rather than just cosmetic upgrades. The 35th Anniversary 350Z (2005) was the similarly packaged except it had the rev up motor that became the standard engine for 2006 (so did the 2005 Track model too though).

Apparently Nissan doesn't want to spend the extra money it would take to really make the Anniversary model a special car. I would love to see an Anniversary Z that offers the best of the Nismo and the Touring, sort of like the Grand Touring 350Z which had the best of the Track and Touring models. In the end it's all about the cost and the price point of the Z I'm afraid. Maybe the 50th Anniversary will be that special car.

BTW It can be done. Modshack just picked up a mint conditon 2003 20th Anniversary GTI that has a bunch of performance upgrades over the regular GTI as well as cosmetic upgrades.
