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.
Pretty tall order for what the Z is. Not that I wouldn't like a lot of those changes, it's just kind of unrealistic I think.

You dont have to look much further than JDM versions of past Nissans for much of these items. Not terribly unrealistic however market in US probably doesnt support these types of options like Japan or Europe would.

The PDK option on Porsches is a $1600 option. Japanese manufactures have always been good at developing similar technologies at cheaper price than their German counterparts. I would bet that PDK like shifting system is coming soon. Heck Mitsubishi already has one on the EVO.

I'm sure that because of fuel standards Nissan is already looking at ways to lighten the car.
