2. Fix the rear hatch rattle.

3. Put real sport seats with ability to accept 6 point harness belts

4. Rework the motor to deliver better top end performance. It should scream all the way to redline. Not top out 500 to 1000 RPM before redline. Make it more rev happy! Current motor spins up way too slow.

5. Introduce a paddle shift manual transmission similar to Porsche PDK

6. Offer car with suspension adjustments which allow at least -3 degrees of camber

7. Make sure the car doesnt have oil cooling issues from the factory

8. No fuel starve issues

9. Brembo or Stop Tech brake option

10. Drop weight to 3000 lbs.

11. Offer a special edition turbo. .....Please!

12. Eliminate that dang drivetrain vibration that both 350 and 370 have.

13. Do something to stop the rear wheel hop issue that both the 350 and 370 have had.

2. I get a rattle now that I have done test pipes and CBE, is that what your talking about?

3. What car has this in at this price

4. Compared to what? An S2K, Indy car? I think the car revs real fast, and top of the RPM range is where she shines.

5. Maybe I dont understand what your saying, do you mean like a dual clutch tranny?

6. Once again, what car has this (in reason)

7. Totally agree, but it can be fixed so easy, so it was never a concern

9. Whats wrong with the Sport brakes? Same size rotors up front as a Z06 and 4 piston??

11. Z is suppose to be affordable, want a turbo? get a GTR

12 Dont have it??

The Z actually revs real slow. Not sure if you changed your flywheel or something but the 30lb flywheel we have is not helping with it.

No just the occasional rattle from the hatch.

Mitsubishi EVO has much of this.

Actually it really doesnt rev quickly and power band dies out as it climbs. Its a nice torquey motor but I'd like a quicker reving motor in a sports car. it should boogie all the way to redline. This one is more like a truck motor.

Yes similar to EVO dual clutch.

Not a huge cost to put this in. Very simple actually!

I'd like a more systematic fix. that doesnt require an aftermarket oil cooler.

Z06 uses 6 piston front. I'd like to see a lightweight 2 pc option as well.

Plenty of past premium model Z cars with Turbos at prices not that far over base. There is still room for a turbo Z below the GTR. I dont want a 4000 lb AWD 2+2 coupe. ...Ack!

They all have it. Many professional reviewers in US, Japan and Europe have commented on same issue.

Nope think all these elements would be nice upgrades for a more premium version of the car. Perhaps Nismo 2.0
