All in all, I like it better than the 2014 refresh (though it's weird they re-refreshed a year later...), and indeed, the rear decklid spoiler is a bit different than the sport pack one -- looks to me to be more integrated into the trunk; more of a "duck tail" design than the current sport pack offering.

All in all, I like the changes -- the new body kit, bells-and-whistles, and particularly the less artsy-fartsy wheels -- also like the addition of the 7-speed (sorry. haters) and nav options (hell, why not?).

It's even got the world famous "butt plug"

I am curious as to the gearing differences, and whether it is for both the MT and AT -- was that posted?

EDIT: Yep - Final drive ratio: 6-speed manual 3.916 (versus 3.692 standard 370Z)
7-speed automatic 3.692 (versus 3.357 standard 370Z)

Sweet! Now I want their trans!! How impossible would it be to swap out the final gear?

I would have liked more power, but either it aint happening (as with the Q60) or we really are getting something new and exciting for 2016...

As much as I liked them and the S-tune ones, I was never a huge fan of the forks at the end of the spokes. I just liked them more than the crazy "gnarled tree branch" design of the sport pack Z (made even more artsy on the refresh).

I personally like these latest wheels best of the 4 or 5 previously available variants.

How hard would it be to get and install that new final drive???
