I don't have a problem with my 6mt, but I seem to be in the minority here on that one. Either Nissan would have to redesign the shared platform to accept a transaxle, or the Z would have to be a one-off. Both of those are prohibitively expensive, especially for a car selling <10k units a year. The best we can hope for mechanically is moving to DI and adding some torque/mpg that way, and cutting back on the weight. Anything beyond that seems pretty unikely.
