I want a 3000 lb car. 3500 is way too much for this class a vehicle.
I can live without ipod integration if they would just allow mp3s and other formats on the hard drive and played off of media cards correctly. I don't want to get an iPod. The mp3 implementation on the sedan makes me wonder what kind of morons are designing this car. If they can hose that up so bad I wonder what they did to the rst of the car..
Also I'd like a better manual tranny. The one on the new sedan was just weird.
And I'd like a stiffer suspension.. Hell if GM can do it for the Corvette Infiniti can do it too(ok maybe not). The Vette has a great ride yet is one of the best handling cars in the world.

my top 10 wants in order
1. Bring back the Brembo's baby!!!
2. Panoramic roof (glass roof as u guys call it)
3. A/C ventilated seats (had this on my 1999 Saab & loved it)
4. real woodgrain trim ...optional CF trim for u youngters & racing freaks (a car is not truly luxury without leather + wood or CF) plastic dash trim (like we have now) does not equate luxury
5. Intelli key for 6MT
6. heated steering wheel & rear seats
7. 340 HP <---I know long shot ...doesnt hurt to dream
8. 3300lbs or less <---will never happen but ...doesnt hurt to dream
9. AWD only if it has a button to switch back to RWD <---i know immpossible
10. factory remote start option
why the performance mods on bottom cuz a SC or Turbo can fix that very easy!!
oooh ooooh I forgot a TCS off switch (one that stays permanently off until u switch it back, even if u cut car off)

If there is an AWD version, which I think there will be, that may get the 3.5L engine, who knows.

The weight from the base model G Sedan to the 2nd Gen base model G Sedan are almost identical in weight. To be exact, it literally lost 1 lb less than the last gen, if that matters
.Before you say its a given, I need proof.

And, by the time the GTR comes out the base Vette will be a faster and still lighter car. I wouldn't be surprised if it will be a better, faster track car than the GTR, unless of course Nissan ups the specs a bit more, but then for the money a current gen Z06 will still spank the GTR in every performance category. Then of course there is the upcoming 650hp $100K Vette... We won't know for sure until the GTR is released and tested.
