$1500 got me about 550rwhp and 1100ftlbs in an 8000lb truck. And room for groceries...

Tweak the brakes - add 20hp and torque - Tune the exhaust and sharpen the steering. At speed on the Autobahn I don't get pushed around much and the car is up to the job, and I'm bone stock + the PSS. To keep a realistic price point it doesn't need much to be even better.

I felt the same way the OP feels about lack of power and practicality when I traded in my modded genesis coupe for a sedan.

It only took 2-5 months down the road when I begun to miss the sports car feel. Because of that look at where I am today lol. Sitting in another sports car.

It could have been an impulse thing that I wanted practicality > Sports, but in the long haul, you'll probably be running back into another sports car soon.

How about an engine with similar stats as Lexus' IS-F motor in the next Z?
400 hp, 380 ft./lb. of torque, high 12's at the slowest STOCK...Then I'll buy next Z. Otherwise I gotta stick with C7 or Porsche 991.

2015 Nismo is suppose to come with a technology package and a 7AT Tranny as options, a salesman let us kno pricing on the Nismo sub forum

Somehow I forgot to mention "Improve oil cooling!"

Umm I think there should be a Z that is like fully loaded. Include some of the features some German car companies have to offer.
Pretty much a step slightly higher than the current touring+sports. I'm not really sure what I am getting at right here...
I just want a porsche 991 911 s :/ damn it.

Stock radar detector.. those sneaky sneakys are everywhere

Well, 2 weeks ago traded the Z in on a Murano for my wife. Sad thing is I don't miss it much.. yet. It was fun while it lasted but in the end it just wasn't practical as all I did was drive it up and down the highway to work, splitting time with my truck, to the tune of 36k miles in 2 years. I've always loved Z cars and now at least I can say that I owned one and it was great.

Here are a couple of things that I would like to see changed, and factor in to why I gave it up, you may or may not agree:

1. Serious bump in horsepower/torque. It's time to bring back the twin-turbo or other forced induction. That 3.7 VQ has so much potential and it's been on the road for too long with no improvements. At the end of the day it couldn't challenge my F250 unless the road turned.
2. The Touring package should be an option in the Nismo. That car is too nice on the outside to get in and be underwhelmed by a bare bones interior and +18hp. Big wheels notwithstanding. It was the #1 reason I didn't go that route. Maybe 100% of Nismo owners race them and don't need the options... I can't say.
3. Beef up/quicken the 7AT. 'Nuff said.

You guys are good people, so now I'm officially changing my status to LURKER. If I get another Z, you'll be the 3rd to know!

You where hacked by your wife we get it

How fast exactly is an F250 8000lb Monster truck with this "chip" or whatnot? Give me some stats...are those ridiculous lift kits with 99 inch tires involved too?

As fast as 42lbs of boost will allow. The answer to your question can be easily found...

Do you only drive in straight lines? That's the only way I can see there being any comparison to a F250.
