What improvments would you trade your Z for?
 
So with all this talk of the next Z coming out, it got me thinking. What the one thing that Nissan really would need to do to or add to the next Z that would get you to run down and trade in your 370 for?

For me power in it's self isn't going to do it for me. it would be hard for me not to go right out and bring home a new Z with a targa top. I think it's timethey make a comeback.

drop the weight by 200 lbs, 350+ hp and at least 300 ft/lbs, gear LSD instead of that viscous BS, resolve oil consumption issue on ALL Z's, some have it, some dont, we need some continuity. Thats pretty much all it would take for me. Oh, and ensure all cars in the lineup have SRM so that those that cant afford it, dont have to pay an additional 3k for the feature.

:iagree: More power is the biggest thing for me, torque is pathetic for this sports car.

I'm keeping my current Z for a wild, unless I hit the lotto. However, some more power and that Nissan work out all the issue known since the 350Z would be nice.

I'd consider trading in for one with TTops

m4a1mustang 08-10-2010 08:06 AM

I won't buy another Z unless they decide to put the 5.6L in it. :D

TongMan 08-10-2010 08:14 AM

Factory Twin Turbo or Supercharger...but highly unlikely. The 370z is hard selling even as it is right now.

This is a tough market for a "toy" car.

SiXK 08-10-2010 09:45 AM

Not sure I would trade it in for more power or a different top. My other Z has two turbos and t-tops, but if they totally redesigned it and went with something like the 240Z retro style body I'd consider it, just depends on how it turned out. Too much retro can be a no-go.

Don't forget you also had a sport/touring switch for around town or call it the 'stuck behind idiot' switch. Your last car may have cost more in actual unadjusted for inflation dollars than the 370 15-20 years later.

T tops for sure would be an improvement. A VDC button that acts like the S-match button and stays on or off where you left it.

Neither would be enough to trade for, but throw in appreciably more torque and power too, I just might.

Let it be known, I am pretty happy overall.

Less weight, more power.

GingaBreadMan 08-10-2010 12:28 PM

Less weight is mandatory. Would also like a lower ride height. Getting tired of looking down to Vettes and Ferraris. More power isn't necessary, I can turbocharge myself and blow the doors of almost anything in production.

I know I am in the minority, but I would like a lower seat or the ability to lower it more.
Beyond that anything I "need" for this car I can add myself or better than Nissan could provide at a competitive price.

That reminds me... a telescoping steering wheel would have been VERY nice. I have long legs that require me to slide the seat all the way back for proper pedal reach but unfortunately that means I have to stretch a bit to comfortably grip the steering wheel.
