What would you like to see in the next Z? Do you plan on ever buying another Z? If not, what would you get and why?

...provided Nissan fixed the brake ducting issue on the original NISMO trim 370Z that led to a crash, at the hands of a trade magazine no less! I'm guessing the stoppers are still Akebono instead of Brembo based on the phrase "red-color brake calipers", if they were Brembo I'm pretty sure we'd have been told. For all the "Akebonos are just as good as Brembo" folk just take a peek at what stops the GT-R. And I'd like to see some details about what " revised brake system components" means (hopefully more than just the R35 fluid Nissan fed into the NISMO Z - I can do that at home). None of the Z's, not even those with the Nismo badge, have steel braided Brake lines from the factory, needs to at least be included in the sport package and should certainly come the Nismo. I see they Nissan went on the cheap and didn't stitch weld the 370 Nismo like they did the 350...seems like a lot of extra money for some stickers.

I would have also been happy to see the "Euro" rear-foglight added, instead of just a red plastic reflector in the new US model (What, don't we get fog in the US?), a MECHANICAL (clutch or helical, I don't care) LSD in the 370Z, at least in the NISMO with a price north of $40K, instead of the barely better than open diff viscous unit and a move away from the ugly combi-gauge on the left side of the cluster as well as going back to the old red and amber colour scheme instead of the bright white numbers on the tach and speedo.

Yeah, I'm a tough crowd.

I do think the new front fascia is a vast improvement over the Count Chocula look and it's nice to still see Rays making the forgies for the NISMO, at least Nissan didn't cheap up on those like they did the brakes. I better not say that too loudly, next thing I know we'll be seeing some Rotas on the 2014 Z.

I still like the Z, it's aging gracefully, and it looks like Nissan isn't neglecting it with improvements only minor enough to make those that must have the latest and greatest sign on the dotted line. I also see some off the bloat that killed of the old 300ZX creeping in to the Z and moving the car further away from the idea of the original Z.
