To me, it's a status-icon only, and I don't care about status or reputation beyond the professional. I have found that the 370Z has just about the right amount of performance for me. Would I turn down 50-75hp more? Nah, but it's not necessary. What would I like? Less weight. Better suspension. Better distribution. More traction (although the 370Z is VERY! well balanced for power/traction, as it sits, IMO, when compared to cars like the mustang, challenger, camaro, etc.)

In short, I want a driver's car with decent creature comforts. It's time for a NAV system design update, time for more upscale materials in the interior (polymer developments, etc. make this possible over time without increasing cost), time to fix the weight distribution, time to improve rebound control, maybe an optional MRC type suspension like GM and all the other high-end manufacturers have gone to on their sports cars. GM owns suspension development. Nissan has piggy-backed on Ford for help with their GT-R engine, they need to hit GM up for some suspension tips.
