captain Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 And they want £43,000 for it?? "Each Nurburgring 370Z receives a new set of 19-inch OZ alloy wheels in a gunmetal finish that are wrapped in Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT rubber (255/40 R19 at the front, 285/35 R19 at the back), a performance Cobra exhaust system and a numbered plaque.But that's about it as Nissan did not tamper with the 370Z's 3.7-liter V6 engine that continues to produce 331 'ponies' which are channeled to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox. The base price for the special edition 370Z is €50,400" Link: http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2009/07/ni ... found.html Quote
The G Man Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I reckon with the extra £10k you could make a "special" of your own, only better, with power enhancements thrown in Quote
bronzee Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 That's quite a few extra clams for not very much. Quote
Chris`I Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I beleive that was Germanys equivelant to our UK "Ultimate" edition from back in 2009 - albeit theirs was a limited run and I don think the Ultimate was. Quote

Limited to 80. Doesn't excuse charging £15k for some naff wheels and exhaust. Quote

Look at the GTR Spec-V Only mugs will pay it, but some mugs have lots of money and will shell out for the exclusivity. The 370z Black Edition / 40th Edition was ~£500 more than a similarly spec'd 370z due to the limited run. At least on that you got stuff that isnt available on normal models and cant be bought afterwards though Quote
NeilMH Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 It makes a second hand 350 at £9k or less look like a bargain. Quote
Ebized Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Silly money - but anyone know about the tyres - good/bad etc Quote
Vik54 Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I reckon with the extra £10k you could make a "special" of your own, only better, with power enhancements thrown in +1 And as Craig says if you're prepared to stomach the running costs - for that money you could get a used R35 Quote
Kev T Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Leaving the " exclusivity " bit aside, you could fit new intakes, 'Y' pipe, decats and exhaust get Uprev tune and have a really sweet running and sounding car turning out around 315 RWP which is close to 365/370 BHP and still have change out of £3000.

Yup, the engine is a good un, getting near 100HP/litre from an NA car is no easy task - except here it is I have intakes, exhaust (inc Y) and plan to get a remap and hope for around 350+HP from it all Quote
Kev T Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 With ART decats etc. it is definitely possible to achieve those figures quite easily. Quote
