I am all for the power so I'd go with the Nismo TT. But 3.0 T direct injection seems to be a good choice too if I can't afford a Nismo.

I want lighter! I want better mpg! I want better exhaust note! I want better manual trans! I want better paint quality! I want non crappy speakers!

And most important of all keep the price near 30k! The z barely sells because its an overpriced value now

I'd go with Nismo if they did it right, otherwise I probably wouldn't get another Z. Would have to be better than the C7 at that price point though.
