Default If you could only change one thing about your Z...

Are you unhappy with the color of the front corner reflectors? Can't stand the "cheap" feel of the carpeting? Wish the fit and finish of the interior was a little tighter? Think the Xenons should be more blue?

Try to respond as though you could only make ONE change to the car. The one thing that, of all the things you could come up with, would be the one thing that would make you the most happy that you changed it.

What you pick could be anything on the car, from exterior to paint to finish materials on the inside to the lack of bass in the stock speakers. Whatever's most important to YOU.

*side note: This was my best attempt at a post with some meaning. My intention is that everybody could think of one thing that if time and money was no object, that they would change about the car. Who knows? Some of the elements suggested might catch the eye of the lurking Nissan engineers and designers.

I have a feeling that "more power" will be a popular choice.

Mine is a little bit simpler - take the front cupholder completely out. It's been really helpful on trips, but now that the car's got some miles on it, it does nothing but rattle like crazy, and I'd rather not have it instead of hearing rattles all day long.

Well, since I don't have mine, the one thing I'd change is that I do have it.

When I get it, I'm sure I'll want more power. I nice twin turbo kit would help.

More aggressive looking wheels. Or possibly finished wheels instead of painted wheels.

Better view from the rear view mirror. I am 6' 1" and constantly checking side mirrors and ducking my head to get proper perspective to see law dawgs.

Better stock tires! (and I don't even have my Z yet but I've dealt enough with RE040s to know they suck).

Why stop at 350/350? I know it's nice symmetry and all, but I don't think there's such a thing as too much power.

Not having to do so much to the car just to do a simple task... i.e. rear speakers.

Silly, I know, but a power outlet on the dash/facing, and not just one between the seats.

Passenger seat that returns to its original position after I'm done digging through the rear compartment.

Default What I would change.

T-tops, sunroof.. I haven't seen a car without at least an option of some kinda roof in years.

Power outlet.

Remote windows up, U can make them go down with the remote, but why not up.

Reverse sensors, since we can't see anything around us anyways.

Navigation controls, the joystick makes it jump around everywhere but where U want it to go.

Horn, the horn sounds like you are driving a Buick.

Silent alarm activation. Don't like waking up any of my females kids or parents when I am creepin late at night.

Roadside assistance & loan car program, like I have on my Infiniti. Since this is Nissan's most expensive model, we should get treated like it, when some Infinitis have this & cost less.

I am sorry, did U ask for 1 thing??
