I'm from the Tri-State area as well. Funny, I don't get thrown off the road in the same manner you've just described.

For everyday daily driving, I'd hands down prefer the Mustang. The 370z has major blind spots, lacks torque, and lacks interior space compared to the Mustang.

That would require a powerful sawz-all and welding machine to get those 2 pesky rear seats out!

Back on topic, I'd like to see:

-A ultra light track version with more power/torque that goes beyond the Nismo. (think Porsche GT2/GT3 RS)
-Removable top like the Vette. (I like the lines of the coupe more than the convertable)
-Syncro-Rev standard on all manual tran's
-More sound insulation
-Refine the engine noise.
-Although great, drop the AT version and replace with Dual-Clutch
-Rearview camera standard equip.
-Free Ipad with 3G

i used to think it was really dumb that there is no hatch release, but ni reality, it doesn't make much of a difference. as long as the car is unlocked, anyone can open the hatch just by pressing the button on the rear bumper for the hatch release. You don't actually need the key in your pocket to open the hatch if the doors are unlocked.
