I'll have to agree with Gordon on this one.  I don't totally hate the 
look of the body, and I realize that a few things will be changed before 
the Z sees production to make its appearance more mainstream.  But that 
motor has got to go.  The original Z's were quick, they pulled hard 
through the corners, and they were fun to drive.  The Z doesn't need a 
beast of a motor, but something that pulls hard with a lot of torque 
would increase the fun factor ten fold.  I asked what makes these 
roadsters so much fun to drive since I couldn't see anything really 
extraordinary in the motor, and I was told it was "Breathing".  All I 
have to say to Nissan is let the new Z breath.
What motor or variation of motor would other people on the list like to 
see in the Z, a Monster V8, a turbo V6, a naturally aspirated V6, or a 4 
banger, ect...?

Just some thoughts,
