lol...

LOL! Quality wasn't even a thought when the Solstice was made... GM's thoughts were (listed from highest priority to lowest):

"Make it with cheap parts"
"Make it with cheap parts"
"See if we can make it with CHEAPER parts"
"Make it with cheap parts"
"Throw as little in to the base as possible"
"HYPE the GXP"
"Sell the GXP late so that people that bought the NA would sell their and buy the GXP"
"Make it with cheap parts"
"Sell it for as much as we can get for it"

You forgot the most important one:

MAKE IT WITH CHEAP PARTS!

As for the Solstice's 0-60, I beat Road and Tracks times twice. My dad didn't know how to drive the car fast, so I showed him at the track. My times were very impressive compared to GM's stated times. I pulled better 1/4 times than GM by nearly a second! And my 0-60 was close to that of the LS1 Trans Ams. However, once I got it into 3rd gear, the car pretty much fell on it's face. But it really isn't bad for getting up to speed. I raced a few Mustangs with it and put 6 cars on the 2001 GT before even getting it into 3rd gear. (Got some video of that too. ;))

yeah thanks for the help guys, I still think the Z is a high end car (easily better than 80% of the cars on the road not to mention it's nissan's 2nd best car and represents them in the performance world) that being said, they should have not added that butt-hole, it's huge and ugly.. also it's almost unchangeable unless you add a body kit which will complete change the look of the Z and that's just stupid.. the Z is too beautiful

LOL! Well, it's hard to imagine a cute and small butt hole. At least if they did something the did it well right? Nissan: The over achievers!

That's a fog light? what, does it flash red on and off like an F1 car in the rain? I guess you don't ever have to turn it on, but I can understand wanting it covered up

Ours isn't equipped to turn on like the JDM version.

Its a Eurp/Jap spec thing for safety reasons.

Going along with what other people said,
I saw a white one close up today.. and it doesn't look that bad actually.

If you get a black, it shouldn't be that noticeable
