Tcoat in your experience does "launch" mean "for sale" or does it mean "announcement of when it will be for sale"?

Nah, to each their own to be able to make it their own. As far as I'm concerned you have the right to be wrong when it comes to mods.

That also means I have the right to laugh at your choices.

That's about the only one in the group I think looks OK. The fenders still look "stuck on" though like some 90's GM product. Maybe it's just the starkness of the white.

I do like the wing though.

Didn't realize that, and I was comparing them in my head from memory. the 280 sure looked bigger in my head (maybe bulkier is a better word)

For practical reasons and to meet regulations, I think it would have to be closer to the 280, at least in size. The pedestrian hood requirements alone would make the 240 almost impossible.

The 370Z starts at $30,090 according to their website configurator. Of course it goes up very quickly from there.

Nah, needs to be a flat 12. Subaru did make one at one point (the S1235). It was a race engine though, so probably wouldn't work.

I hope it continues to be a great looking "classic" form car with just enough of a power/torque increase to make it interesting. Throwing in a targa wouldn't hurt!
