I associate the OP's comments with my own impression that the Z would feel more sporty if it were more nimble and tossable. However, that would mean shedding weight which would have to come from the engine I suppose. Then we'd be without the power that makes the car so much fun to drive.
Oh, and I hear Steve is change avoiding. Someone saw him dump all his pennies into a tip jar at Starbucks awhile back.

I totally agree the Z would become an even better car if it could shed more weight, but there will be tradeoffs with that: either (a) the car gets way noisier (drop a bunch of sound-insulation / interior type crap), or (b) the price goes up due to more expensive lightweight materials doing the same job.
