But you'd only want it with the GT Pack and that tips it over 30K, I'm keeping my 147 for the forseeable with a look to get one of the new 350z in a year or so when, they tend to lose about 10K in depreciation in the first year unfortunately and there's no way I'm throwing that money down the bog

What normally happens when you cut the roof off a car?

I tend to think the only drop tops that perform as they should are ones that were designed as a drop top in the first place.

Re: Nissan 370Z

Will this be like a de-tuned version of the engine that goes into the Skyline R35?

Do you mean the new GTR (twin turbo V6 - different to the straight 6 turbo in previous Skylines)?
