So when you gonna step up to the plate and buy the car? You wont be disappointed!!!
Finished all my test driving this past weekend, have all numbers from near by dealerships (first round) and will probably go back and just say invoice or bust. I am hoping at the end of the month to put my order in, trying to line up all my points first. Writing a check to pay off my current car, getting the right deal then ordering. I know exactly what I want, and with all the information I have already gained, I know what to do right away, just trying to find out also if there is no coming in that meets my needs.

i think 200lbs is reasonable....it could be done. then add a funtional intake and exhaust with cat delete ( where legal).

that should bump it to 350 crank....and it would weigh what? 3100 ...3078


With a presnt 0-60 of 4.7 and 13.3 1/4 you find it right at 13 flat maybe even 12.9 and likely an amazing 4.5 0-60....

yeah it would cost more....you'd have to use CF peices to get the weight down. I don't see anything over 300lbs weight loss without getting into real major changes.

they should offer a factory S/C.....but it would interfere with the GTR sales.
the Z is already more car than the GTR inside group imagined.

And there is an internal fued between the Z guys and the GTR guys. i think i read it on this forum...or in a magazine....

And its a big fued. You put TT on the Z and you have a rwd GTR. almost.

braking and handling wouldn't be affected.. and the Z is right up there with top dogs in that respect.....making it the seriously fun car it is.


10k TT factory upgrade.. I'd pay 42,500 for that.

Mostly minor gripes but her they are...

1) replace weird water/fuel gauge thingy w/analog (obvious)
2) delete or make rear fog active
3) option to delete spoiler on sport package
4) some kind of LED DRLs would be a nice touch
5) make door handle touch sensitive for opening instead of using little button (like every other smart key car Ive owned)
6) reduce some engine/transmission NVH
7) make homelink, bluetooth, nav etc stand alone options (my perfect Z is not possible now...base + sport + 6spd + bluetooth + homelink)

Now the wish list, maybe for refresh 2-3yrs down the road...

1) stripped down, cheaper version of GTR dual clutch!!!! please!!!
2) direction injection for a few more ponies, better emissions/+mpg
3) new front bumper w/o fangs and larger inlet (handy for those going FI)
4) back-up camera!!!

1.)Add the back up camera with the nav package. It isn't a huge deal. I have been driving 21 years without a backup camera, but it isn't difficult to do either.

2.) Put the Infiniti G37s driver's seat with memory in with the touring package. Those seats are 15 way adjustable and much better for "inspired" driving.

3) Illuminated kickplates should be standard with the touring package. The standard ones are cheap.

4) Stitch a "Z" on the back of the seats

5) do away with the black hole on American spec vehicles.

Overall, a stripped down barely street legal version of the z, with nissan motorsports parts, roll cage, racing seats and optional factory supercharger for under $50K... kind of like a 911 cup car but for the weekend racer on a tighter budget

Details... more accurate gauges... an oil pressure gauge... an OEM version of Traqmate... AND A FACTORY OIL COOLER

The hood is just begging for vents, and with the possible engine heat issues couldn't hurt. Maybe not as obvious as the Viper's, but seven and seven tastefully done, might look right, and be functional as well.

If Nissan is listening, retooling the hood with some louvers, would at least seem like a step in the right direction towards addressing some of the engine heat issues.
