S30TRBO Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Thanks for the info Sarah. Less of a starting price than I thought. I wonder what the market will bring? 7,800,000.00 JPY = $67,725.8218 USD Japan Yen United States Dollars 1 JPY = 0.00868280 USD 1 USD = 115.170 JPY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete84 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 If that price holds close, it'll be a great bargain. The base 911 stickers for 73,500. http://www.porsche.com/usa/models/911/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triple B Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 that puts it price point wise in the range of the Z06 vette i saw a prototype GTR toolin around bay city, mi and i just about lost it. i guess the design center down in detroit had one they were road testing for cold weather.

Pete84 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 The Skyline is almost out, the G37 is out, when will a new Z come around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannyvig Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 to be honest they have been road testing them for about 2 1/2 years here in the states from the desert here even to alaska. They were originally running the platform underneath un-baged G35 coupe bodies. The wat to tell was that the G35 was widened at all corners and the diffuser that covered most of the undercarriage. to the normal person they were "ordinary" infinitis. they were able to drive around without camo and no one suspected a thing. There were several running around phoenix for a while and i know the Oening mills plant had a few in town also. THEY ARE AWESOME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
