New VVEL for the VQ37VHR engine with a rated 332 hp. (still need more hp).
wheel base 4" shorter. Better rigidity and suspension.
A much better and smoother transmission with the synchro-Rev-Match 6mt. (350z and G35 had a terrible 6mt).
Nissan sales numbers for the Z would be higher today if they had immediately fixed the problem with oil burning/consumption problems within the first year of the failed "Rev-Up" engine.
I look forward to what Nissan reveals in the coming years for the Z.
More HP?
Reduced cabin noise?
Keep the diesel engine in the Benz!
Zero oil burning (and I do mean ZERO)
and so on.............

I agree with you on the 370Z's need for more HP to compete with other cars. Maybe now that the GT-R is a bit better, Nissan will have no problem doing the same with the 370Z. I don't think the oil burning issue is really affecting many people's decision to buy the car. I am pretty sure most of the people who purchase or consider purchasing the 370Z have never heard of the issue. I didn't learn about it until after I bought my car and joined the forum. The forum only represents a small portion of all 370Z owners and I'm pretty confident that most people who are not part of the forum don't know about this issue.
