What Would You Want (2011 370Z)

#1) I think they hit a home run with the 370Z styling. The 350Z never got my juices flowing. In another couple of years, I think a total refresh would be a very good thing (keep my current Z unique, give me a reason to buy another). I'd like better sightlines, and a lot less bulky feeling on the road. But don't make it into a Miata (unless you just gotta have them doors!)

#2) This would also be the opportunity to lose some bulk/weight. Today's drivetrain with a 2600lb car would be sick! In fact unless it loses weight, the Z as we know it will be gone forever. Unless the Z loses weight, it will end up with a 900lb battery pack and another 150lbs of electric motors. Yuck!

#3) For the truly hard-core, a twin-turbo version with real Brembos. Gotta have something to scare those 'Vettes & big Porsche's.

I love my car. Can't think of any changes that won't end up making it too socially responsible, or too much of a girly car. Live free or die!
