An electric Z could be good. While the batteries would be heavy, they could be placed almost anywhere in the car and distributed however you wanted them to be. No oil changes would also be a cool feature. And if you could put motors on each wheel you could have a killer all-wheel drive set-up. It could be created to be similar to the GTR's ATTESA system.

The 370Z is pure sex! It is hot, loud, and rough!
You make a great point. I would rather have an all electric Z than a hybrid Z. You'll have to change your usual quote to "It is cool, quiet, and smooth!" though.
