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). :-)
