But not enough torque, seriously? From 3.5L it seems like an abundance....You normally drive a diesel?

too many TSBs...(got most taken care of)
too many rattles...(turn radio up/got better tires to stop vibration)
OEM tires suck...(got AVON Tech M500 A/S...smoothest, quitest ride ever!!!!!!)
attracts too much attention from cops...(drive slower??)
sometimes when i go to philly i get finger/hand prints all over the windows from people peering in when i park...(valet park at the front of parking garages)
unfortunately they see a cheap-looking interior...LOL...(no solution)
stuff (bookbag) in trunk always visible...(bad thing in philly - don't get me wrong, i love philly - don't leave things in the open in philly...considered Crossfire - too loose of a ride - steering, clutch, felt like driving jello-mobile)
clutch chatter when turn engine off...(leave engine on or turn off with clutch depressed)

BAN THE BEEPS.
Another little thing, the Flashing green indicator lamps are a little GAY. Instead of a Green Arrow, its a Green DOT with a Black arrow. Reverse Block kinda crap. It looks a little cheap. No biggy.
I love the WIDE Guards. The shape is Years ahead of its time.
This thing will still look good in 20 Years.
My main complaint, Such a fast LOOKING CAR, No V-8 or TT.
This thing LOOKS like it should have 500 BHP+ so why not give it to it.
Bring on the 450 Z and the GT-R . We have waited long enough.
Even though I've only had my Z for 4.5 Hours.
Please sir, I want more. LOL
If they Build it, I will buy it.

My #1 dislike about the 350Z: BLINDSPOTS!!!
#2: Paint isn't very high quality. And for a $30k+ sports car, it should be.
Other than those two main points, I really love everything about my 350Z.
The factory Bose system is good enough to keep me happy (although my daily driver definitely has a better system). But that's the problem with Bose, isn't it? Average sound so no one can really complain - No highs, No lows, It's a Bose.
I dig the interior. I've come to the conclusion that for 2 seater sports cars that there isn't going to be a passenger in the vehicle at all times. So why not have a cockpit that focuses on the driver? The plastic is tolerable, too.
Seats aren't the most comfortable after 4-5 hours, but it's a sports car...
Trunk space? Feh. Clothes don't smell bad for at least a couple days.
Power? Drive a slow car for a daily driver. Get in the 350Z and complain. I think the power is good.

Dislikes of the 06' model (2,000 miles on her so far) :
- the bose system is ok at moderately low levels, and more and it sucks!
- blind spots could have been trimmed down with a fuller r/side window
- the damn A/C turning on when I switch the fans to auto/on
- card/change holder is stupid!
- allocation of the rear strut bar should have been re-though, it really limits the space.

any VW manual transmission would clunk shifting from 1st to 2nd big time. The Z is just a little notchy in the morning going into 2nd sometimes.
