If so, I would like to indicate amoung the current Z community their wish list items for a new upcoming Z.

To start, I would offer the following:
  • Shorter wheel base and overall length (i.e less than 100" wheel base length, approx. 158-160" overall length)
  • Lighter overall weight (i.e. reduced by 200-300 lbs overall)
  • Smoother/faster shifts for the manual transmission with more forward gears (7-8 spd)
  • Less NVH (Noise, Vibration,Harshness)
    [*Improved engine operational issues that are the nemisis of tracking the current Z
  • Improved limited slip differential able to take track laps at race courses
  • More leg room for 6'-4" plus tall persons
  • Improved seats that are lighter and fit tall people
  • Shorter hatch length that weighs less
  • Turbo option
  • A track option that deletes air con/sound system option


We can all wish I guess...

Anyhow, that'd be nice but I'm not greedy. I'll take a turbocharged option with 450ish HP, LSD as you mentioned, and lighter.
