Message Ok, here's my wishlist:

1) re-engineer the clutch system, something that is
affordable, and works to hold good horsepower.

2) 6-speed manual tranny. Maybe there's one that can
be pilfered from somewhere in the infinity line?

3) Better flow through intercoolers. Better intercoolers.

4) Decent brake system for a decent cost. Bonus points if
it fits under the stock wheels. If it does not fit, then
a nice set of wheels and tires. (At 600+hp you'll likely
need the extra rubber anyhow).

5) An honest 600-650hp to the ground, but with decent
torque curve. Do the best you can, spool those turbo's
as soon as possible, etc. Daily driver type, but in
such a way that there is power whenever you want it.
(If you're ever driven a honda CBR959, you'll know what
I'm talking about... :-) )

6) Tein (or whatever) suspension, with remote adjustable
damping. Bonus points for having the touring/sport switch
still work, but have adjustable points (maybe stash the
other control box in the glove box?)

7) Decent audio system. Not too overblown, but at least
something better than the bose. Bonus points for a full
integrated security system.

8) On the body side, keep it not too wild. A nice dark
paint with a decent pearl would be nice to see. Maybe a
stillen front lip, or nismo front to help with cooling?
Think japanese ferrari, not ricer...

9) HID. Find a source/way to get good US/Canadian/Euro
spec HID lights into a Z. Not the "conversion kit" thing
but real HID lights. Maybe a retrofit of hella modules?

10) Make it pass cali emissions, but get rid of all the
extra junk that is not necessary.

11) Forget "race car". It's a sport touring car, let it
be that. Make it comfortable, and carry a HFS (huge f*in
stick). :-)
