Hey, but you'll be a better driver, driving a slow car fast compared to driving a fast car slow.

The Z is definitely a car I don't see too often. Hands down though, we all can attest to the Mustangs, Camaros, etc that are driving around. I wish Nissan really took into consideration what "Project Z" was. We all know the next engine will most likely will be FI so atleast it was already made for boost. I feel that Nissan can do better in the handling department.

One takeaway when Hotrodz and I were driving a week ago was, we could still keep up with most of the cars out there in the corners despite the weight of the Z.

A list of wishes for the next Z:

-Make the Nismo version lighter (just like the GT3s and GT3RSs)

-Engine forced inducted from factory (check)

-Handling improvements (Front and Rear sway bar stiffened), I felt the stroke in the suspension was adequate, but the roll wasn't to my liking. It's pretty obvious though.

-Make each model of the next Z more tailored for various drivers.

-Base (standard Z w/o the usual bells and whistles; more milder in suspension setup for ride comfort/handling)

-Sport (a step up in suspension/handling, but still has room to modify for those wanting to track. optional wheel/tire setup, optional radiator/oil cooler)

-Nismo (more track oriented setup [suspension tailored for track use, but compliant on the street], AC delete option, more bolstered Recaros/bucket seat option, square wheel/tire setup option, larger radiator/oil cooler standard)

*of course there would be options for nav/radio/etc.

That would be in my eyes what I wish to see with the new Z.
