I may stop by and look at one if I have the time when passing by the a dealership that has one. But by no means would I get one. If I trade, I will get entirely different. I see no need in spending more money just to have basically the same thing in the end.

I'll check it out and decide if the extra bang is worth the extra bucks.

I feel like a noob, but what is an automatic hardboot and why is it so important to some S owners. Personally, I have the option to wait, but at the same time as long as there are no bugs in their upgrades, the upgrades are actually upgrades and not tweeks, and if the price is reasonable. I hate mark-ups and that is one of the sole reasons I chose not to get a 350Z. The biggest factor for me would probably be how long I can wait for arrival. The itch must be scratched...

What they mean by that is the elimination of the convertible top cover that comes with the car. They want the convertible top to hide itself when you put it down, similar to the BMW Z4.

Thank you very much Gchambers. Now that I understand it, it would be a good upgrade, but not a strong reason for me to get the '04. As for me it would come down to engine, supension, and how much and what will they do to the interior. I hope everything is still retro-fit though so I can get my damn '03 and pick and choose what to add.

Definitely worth a look, auto-hard boot would be great as well as on the fly adjustable suspension for everyday driving.

Low end torque will be a bigger issue than the horsepower for 2.2 L. Will see the improvement before make the decision
