how heavy it is... it would brake better, accelerate, corner and get better gas mileage and probably be an even better race acar

more light weight parts/components would jack up the price more

And people complaining about the oil dipstick... It's not that hard, I check my oil every couple of thousands K to see how it's doing, I've never had trouble taking it out and in. But I once saw a MIDAS guy asking for help when he was checking my oil

And one thing I dislike about my car... Probably the weight.
funny....i only had trouble with the dip stick the first week after buying the Z. Nissan is not gonna win any design award for the dip stick for sure. The Midas guy probably needed glasses.

the trick is.... grab the dip stick with the right hand about eight inches from the tip of the stick ....not the yellow handle at the top. Point the tip at that slanted channel of the dip stick entry way and ease the damn thing in there......once the thing is in the hole the rest would slide in naturally. The key is not to jam that thing in like there is no tomorrow...treat the Z like your girl friend with tender loving care and she would be more than happy to let it slide in there.LOL

all it needs is a chassis made specifically for this car to shave off a good chunk of weight. That really wouldnt cause the cars to cost much more, nissan was just being cheap when they put it on the fm platform.

i've found cussing at it and poking it into random places does the job.
