I meant that even though it's certainly not lacking in the "balanced" department, it make for a better sports car if they focus improving that aspect instead of just dumping a turbo or supercharger. Nissan needs to make the Z truly lighter (closer to 3k lbs) & bump up the torque and hp without going FI.

Cars like the Elise/Exige, though not particularly powerfull when you just look at the engine spec., are quick when you see the whole package. That's kind of where I want Nissan to go with the next Z. It's certainly feasable considering how the 370 evolved from the 350. If you only look at the power bump, it's only a 26hp increase. We all know by now, how much faster the 370 is, so logic would tell you its not just more power.
I didn't mean to imply that I was quoting you directly, my friend. In any event, I think we both agree that more hp/lb is the answer. Less weight would be ideal, but it seems cheaper and easier for Nissan to just add power. I would take either option, though (or both).
