The 2008 'Busa was released in Oz in November last year. There are now several running around Melbourne.
Personally don't like the shape mods to the tail.
Yes all 1999 & some very early 2000 models are unrestricted. All models after that are speed limited to 300klm/hr, but only electronically. A small TRE mod & they are back to unlimited performance. (which realistically is about 340klm/hr)
The speedo on the 1999 models does show up to 340klm. The later models have digits to 280 & marks to 300klm.
Mine is a 2004 model which has not been modified, so I am strill "restricted" to 300klm/hr.
Not really a restriction to worry about in my book.
