Thanks. Your version is so much more concise!

Yeah happy, I agree...

It's just that when I read the OP's post, it's just so bizaare... from left field, and elementary at that. Being a Z owner myself, I don't agree with the majority of his suggestions because not only is it not my taste, but it ultimately comes down to COST. I mean, for goodness sakes, Nissan cheaped out on (just to name a couple) installing a cabin filter (what is that cost to Nissan in the end to add that in? 4 bucks tops?) and an oil cooler, how much more those suggestions the OP suggested..... Sounds more like he wants a GTR for 90k. No need to redesign the Z, just buy the GTR, OP.

I hear you on all points loud and clear, but remember: American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by removing 1 olive from each 1st class salad.

So...in short, if Nissan made 40k 370z last year, they saved $160k!

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense... it's all in the mass quantities. So I guess the chance of them installing an oil cooler for a stock Z in the future is almost nil

Mt Tam I am

I have a MBA question:

If I write Nissan and tell them I want a GTR with a manual transmission, what are my chances of getting what I want?

I'd say none.

But if I create a laundry list of changes will my chances increase?

That is a good question for International Business class (MBA) that I'm taking this semester. Add the following too:

1. Size of market (demographics, socioeconomic state)
2. Sociocultural acceptance of product–adaptation necessary?
3. Legal/bureaucratic environment (imports, local manufacture, taxation).
4. Competition in market.
5. Economic and political climate for foreign business.
6. Methods for marketing and distribution.
7. Managerial and labor climate.
8. Financial viability (profit margin, currency translation, profit repatriation).
