Well, at least Nissan updated their website to show information about the 2007 Z today.

I just noticed carmax nissan in baltimore has a whole slew of them in now, all priced at invoice. http://www.carmax.com/dyn/newcar/newcar.aspx
Has anyone driven this car yet to make comments about the added power of the new motor and any other changes?? I think the "power bulge" hood looks a little goofy but I've only seen it in pictures, and besides it is probably necessary for the twin air intake system.

I just looked up one there real quick and it came back at $100 under invoice. Interesting that they would price them so aggressively right away. I guess they feel the minor changes aren't enough to drive sales up any from last year.
I can't confirm the invoice is accurate, however, since neither carsdirect nor edmunds has pricing for the '07s yet.

The invoice prices at least seem pretty close to what they were last year so it must be fairly accurate. I kinda wish I had waited now because the 07 updates are very appealing to me!! The only drawback is if you go on the nissannews site and look at the specs of the 07 model, the curb weight for the touring model is now up to 3400lbs! The original 03 model was "only" 3150lbs...

yeah, this car really didn't need more weight. It needed to drop a few.
I thought it was always over 3300, though. But, according to edmunds and msnautos, the '03 Touring was 3247. You may be thinking of the base model, which was 3188.

ya know, i could be wrong, but i seem to remember reading how the '07s didn't arrive till very very late in the year (like December) because they had a tough time getting rid of all the '06s.

you absolutely can smoke the back tires. I'm not sure, however, about doughnuts in stock form. Problem is I believe I've read that the VSA is not truly completely defeated by pushing the button to turn it off. I believe, however, there is a fuse you can pull to make it happen.
When I attended Z Day at Raceway Park in NJ, a gentleman with a twin-turbo 350z had installed a manual kill switch to disconnect the fuse and completely defeat the VSA.

Yes, as long as you got one of the models with limited slip (all models except base) you can do donuts as long as the tires are still intact! This is a great donut car, and it's easy to control the rear with the throttle. One trick is to put a little more air in the rear tires than the front. From my experience the stability control doesn't inhibit donuts if you turn it off.
