Default Any features/options you wish your Z had.

As stated are there any options or features you wish your car had? I talking about things Nissan didn't offer for the car, so no saying you wish your car had leather or Brembo's etc. I would have loved a targa roof and better visibility out the back of the car.

Ipod/auxiliary connectivity, ability to play DVDs on the navigation screen (seems especially silly given it's got the DVD drive), that pad on the driver's seat between your knees but on the passenger seat as well, power up/down adjustability on the power seats (in addition to back/forth and seat back), front number plate mounting that doesn't require drilling the bumper (someone had already drilled mine so no choice now...grr).

Can probably think of more given time!

V8, turbo, or ANY option that would allow for more out-of-the-box power. An even steeper gear ratio option, as I feel like I wait for the torque to kick in until I realize it's time to shift into the next gear. I wouldn't mind a backup camera, as the rear visibility does suck. While comfier seats would be a bit nice to have, I do like the feel of the stock leathers. That'd put it pretty close to a top car in my book!

Very tempting but I don't want $1200-$1500/month payments.

After owning my Z for 10 years,the OP's question sure has given me some
time to give input.First,there is a difference from fixing some design flaws
and wishing something "came on the car"or,offered as an option.
As with any new design as the 350Z was,there is gonna be some hicups.
Some are due to the inherent design of the overall car.I mean,what is the guy
that is in charge of the doors gonna due when the tip of the door has a sharp
point that can be a hazard?The stuff used for the interior door coveral is
pretty bad.Many owners have devised home remedies to keep these micro
dot panels clean without the usual smudges.As far as a "wish list" of
options or shoulda come ons go,I'd like a sunroof.But,how would it fit?
The driver's seat back...being able to adjust the angle.All in all,the 350 right
out of the box was pretty damn good.Just like the 240Z was when it first hit
the market.I had one of those too.Both cars had the same theme.Offer a
hell of a car for a great price that was way competitive with other makes
that cost a bunch more.The 350 has evolved.With later models the interior
got better.Exterior stuff like lights,better wheels improved as well as more
power from the HR power plant.I've never warmed up completely to the 370.
It sure is an improvement in many ways.I'm looking forward to a new platform
that will offer a lighter car with balanced power.A car that will again be the leader
for others to folow.

I came into this thread thinking I'd be happy with the addition of a compass only, just so I can brag about being right when the girlfriend tells me I'm going the wrong way. Now I want a targa top and auto headlights.

Heads Up Display for speedometer, or a speedometer readout on the trip meter that was large enough to read without a magnifying glass.
