Hi Jay,
Well . . . Remember my thought that Nissan should scan these forums for input to future option packages?
One of the most important things in this forum is resolution of the oil cooling problem. I bet 99+% would in retrospect rather have an oil cooler than a rear wing spoiler as part of a "Sport" deal. (I'm not even sure a separate bolt-on cooler is needed, but it might be the cheapest/quickest fix.)
One thing I'm personally interested in is auxiliary front lighting. I have Bosch driving lights on order. (These are more important than fogs because you don't want to be driving the Z fast on summer treads in fog, even with the best fog lights.) None of the aftermarket companies yet have attempted to add lights into their nose shrouds, and it's an easy design if you leave access to the horizontal bumper bar for mounting.)
So in my case, I'd forgo the Rays forged rims and keep the heavier "base" ones in the hopes they'd last longer in the NYC area. But my ideal "Sport" package would either have an extra light set in front, or an easier way to drop them in. Think: removable fangs.
Just the two above changes, let's call them "Sport Package B", would be something I couldn't resist. It probably prices out a little cheaper than the current "Sport" -- but in each case I've replaced things I find less-useful with an item I would call More useful.
( I don't expect Nissan to make these changes because they've been adding profits since forever by bolting slab spoilers on Sentras and the like.
)
