For starters, Nissan could just install the new brake pads as a standard for 2011...

I wonder if the 2011 Nismo will actually have automatic transmission now that most sports automakers (Ferrari and Lambo) are ditching manuals...

Zsteve

and as stated before the DI makes for a heavily deposited engine. I think Modshack had thrown a pic up before of the inside of the engine for a DI and it was nasty. So DI will give you gains at first but after awhile the build up will take them back.

^^ Here we go again……2 seat sports car vs. 4 seat muscle car!

Jeffblue

I dont care for that 2 seat vs 4 seat argument. I just went to the NY auto show yesterday. sat in the gt500, and the camaro, and a bunch of other 4 seat sports cars, and those seats are USELESS. no one would ever want to sit in them. I'd rather have 2 seats and more storage space or shorter wheelbase/car than 2 feet of useless backseat.

Since nobody here has answered your actual question, I'll tell you what I know. With the 350z, it was my understanding that the new ones came out every year in January. So an 07 came out in January of 2007. I'm not 100% positive, but this is what my dealer told me when I was buying my 350z. Nissan put out the 2009 370z in January. However the roadster came out in Septemberish, if I remeber correctly, as a 2010 model. I think we will know more after 2010 on how nissan will cycle through. I'm curious to see if they bring out the 2011 roadster in September or if they wait until January to bring everything out. Either way, I wouldn't expect to hear about the next model year until late this year.

so they dont know much about safety before tracking a car.... great. not that i know much about tracking but the first thing i would check condition are BRAKES and TIRES. hope the driver is okay.

This was quite some time ago and nobody was hurt. From the looks of it the Nismo took the wall on the passenger side hard. C&D said the brakes failed completely without warning on the second lap in a turn where you must drop from 130 to 40 mph quickly. If it turns out to be worn pads they have some serious backpedalling to do.

Modshack

Nor does Nissan for supplying a mechanically questionable car to a Magazine for testing! Yikes! Bet the guy in charge of the press fleet's head rolled on that one..

and give the 2009 owners a optional tune up to 350.

that would be nice

You know if they add HP to the car it will be probably through opening the exhaust up mostly. You are better off buying an aftermarket exhaust and tune and getting more than anything Nissan would do.

maybe they will come with a factory oil cooler. I will cry if that happens.

Doubtful. Unless the car is a completely new design (and it's too soon for that), the addition of an oil cooler from the factory will be seen as a tacit admission that one is needed, which will have ramifications for prior-year models. And Nissan isn't about to admit that the 09 and 10 models ought to have come from the factory with oil coolers installed.

370zFORme!!

Awesome logic and even better explanation. I've been thinking that for awhile, just never could explain it that well.
