Slight interior improvements would be OK with me, do something about the gauges (The Honda/Acura blueish gauges are SWEEEET in my opinion)

Keep the overall shape and make the car a bit wider and LOWER!!!

T-tops or targa (preferred)!!!!!!!

 

track model should have hand crank windows no AC no sound deadening and not heavy plastic interior. and weigh about 300lbs less than the base model.

 

About the guages... I personally think the s2000's digital tach is bad ***. That would be really neat in the 350 imho.

 

Actually, the guy submitted the idea a few years ago. Ford turned it down. Now they are using it and he had to file a law suit against them. I don't know how it turned out but it wasn't easy for him.

 

T-top or Targa top version. The roadster is nice, but with the top up, it's not all that attractive. A targa top version would be sweeeeeet!

 

i agree w/ the targa top, maybe some stock 19"'s like the g35's

 

Well, if you are talking redesign, and not just a freshening up, I think the car needs to be wider and lower. It just looks too tall. Also, I would like to see a longer hood and a shorter rear deck, something closer to the 1st gen proportions, but not a retro design!

Of course factory FI and a performance oriented AWD ala the GTR would be sweet as well.

 

I'd like to see a redisign in suspension or whatever to fix feathering.

 

Yeah, that too!

 

Damn, calling them idiots is an ignorant thing to say.

Nissan has a planning department and an advanced planning department. They handle strategy and work with the design department to advance future Zs. Yes they find out what owners would like to see and they know that owners are the best source for information. Their questions tell us where they're going with future designs so, owners that are consulted are asked to not discuss details of their inquiries. I'm not surprised that the 35th Anniversary Track has higher horsepower and lower torque. Now that it's out, I see no reason not to say that this is the type of end result from meetings with current owners and inquiries for what we would like to see.

Not only does Nissan go out with owners to see what we want, what we like and what we dislike but recognize that they read these forums and take notice of your input. So, do us a favor and refrain from calling these hard working guys that are trying to improve the Z line - idiots. They're very smart people who genuinely care about the Z and don't deserve your unknowledgeable abuse.

 

Cast iron block?? WTF?? lmao..This car is not a v8 domestic you guys.

I'd rather stay with aluminum thank you.

 

I heard the same thing. And recently, for the hell of it, me and my friend went and test drove a new Mustang GT. We talked to the sales guy and he was all about the guages. He said though, that it is only for the first year of production, that they will have the color changed guages. So, I would ASSUME(I do not know for a fact, jsut a guess) that they must have settled and ford still doesn't want to pay him any more than they have to so they are doing away with them.

 

300lbs less would be nice

but I don't think nissan is in the track only toy market, they're in the car market so i doubt they'll take out the AC

I don't think the plastic is that heavy. In fact, I think it's pretty light compared to most other interior materials.

removing sound deadening - all of it would be nice, but the track model has less sound deadening than the other models already

the window motors suck though - i've burned out like 2.5 of them (one still works but has issues)

 

BS...Ford lists that as an option for the '06's...

 

He won the law suit. He already had the patent. He's a patent lawyer...he knows what he is doing. He got at least $26k for the cars made this year (that's at the VERY least).

 

Well the kid that told me this at the dealership did sound like an idiot. I apolagize for the misinformation I though the dealer would know what they were talking about lol Please ignore prior post.

 

I def. wouldnt change the BOSE. Man that thing is the best!!! I cant wait to see how it sounds when its thrown from the vehicle doing 130 .. I hope the pieces dont chip off the AWESOME paint on our cars!!

I am full of sarcasim. ....

 

You can never trust the dealer..

 

T-tops is a little to 80's for me. Maybe a Targa or a nice sunroof!

Seats should go back 2 more inches

More power. Maybe the Titan 5.6

 

5.6TT

With a full targa top!

and a better factory spoiler..
