It would be nice if they bumped up the HP/TQ to the Nismo ratings for 2011. FTW!

Not enough, IMHO. They need to bump up to probably around at least 370 hp to stay competative in acceleration. It wins hands down in all other catagories already so to me, the obvious choice is a power bump. Seems as if the block is already very robust so this shouldn't be outragously expensive to do.

I agree with the power bump. At least 370 would be nice and it would be a nice play on its name as well.

Somehow I don't see the car's weight being reduced anytime soon. But if they were to shortened the height of the 370Z and stiffen the suspension as well as the horsepower bump, then all of these factors will be sufficient enough to at least compete or beat the American pony cars.

Although I know Nissan will never do this, I would hope for the 370Z's width to be increased a little. I love wide, short, and stocky stance but a man can dream right?

stiffen the suspention to compete? The Z already easily outperforms the others in handling. In this price range not much can approach the Z on handling, you have to move up the food chain quite a bit to do that.

I'm talking about overall hence why I put the horsepower bump in there as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Nismo is dropped temporarily and the 2011 regular models receive the 350hp.
