What's weakest performance thing about 350Z?
350z has so many good features...huge torque, big power, good handling.
But what's the worst performance feature?
My opinion: non-brembo factory front brakes. Gotta upgrade this to BBK then Z his 10 times more fun.

I agree, if the Z was around 2,800lbs it would be so much more fun then it is already now. And everyone I have talked to has agreed that the Z comes with great non-brembo brakes. I have a friend who tracks his Z all summer and he doesn't have brembo brakes. He is ususally at the tops of the standings.

Since my tranny is not noisy, tires were recently upgraded via manufacturers warranty and dont have the Bose ( had it in the 350ZX and Maxima - loved it ) - I would like to say I feel it is too sluggish getting out of 1st into 2nd ( am I shifting wrong?? I have had a number of manuals over the years, including the 300ZX (5 speed) - which I thought was much easier from first to 2nd. I dont really feel the 6 speed has that much over the 5 speed - I had the 350 to 125 a couple times - no problem beating Mercedes on the freeway ) Most cars were afraid to challenge me.

the weakest performance thingabou tthe z would have to be... the lack of adjustments available for performance alignment.
no way to change front caster
very minimal ammounts of rear toe change...
etc...

No matter how I push the button, it takes me several tries to open it.
