The cars a monster on paper. The only thing that its lacking the aftermarket community will take care of quick.
1. Adjustable camber in the front (lots of companies have different options for the 350z)
2. 1.5 way limited slip differential (think cusco has one for the 350z, not sure about kaaz)
3. Tire/Wheels This would be personal preference but I like balanced grip during turns
A setup like this wouldn't class well in autocross but would be a beast to drive on the street and at the track.

Mazda has been putting its R&D money into the cars that sell, the 3 and 6 (granted the 6 isn't doing that great in North America). Those two cars got major overhauls, while the RX-8 mostly got a facelift. They have to keep sales up on the money cars to pay for rotary R&D, cause I'm sure it's not a high-profit division. So we have to accept slow advancements on the RX series, no matter how painful that is.
Nissan knows it will get good returns on the work put into the Z, so why not pimp it? I'm quite impressed with the new look (for the most part), and the numbers don't lie... it's a kickass car for its price. I won't ever own one, but I'm not going to hate on it.

Sorry, but the new z's aren't my thing. The 350Z had the cheapest plastic interior and too rough a ride for daily use. The new 370z is just a bored out version of the 350z, and some cosmetic updates.
No thank you. (And this is coming from a FORMER Nissan fanboy...)

Not really. Nissan "changes" a lot of things, but when you get into it, the changes are usually just minor. Most of the times, their "redesign" is nothing more than making a rod 1" to 1.2" diameter, or things of that nature; the overall design stays the same, just the parts get beefed up.

from the site
By now, most of you have seen photos of the car, but it looks much better in the flesh, as those who've visited the Nissan booth at the Los Angeles Auto Show can attest. The first things to catch your eye are the headlights and taillights. They're wild shapes that look like warped arrowheads, but they blend nicely with the rest of the car's styling. The general shape of the Z hasn't changed, but careful observers will notice that the car is shorter. At 167.1 in., the new Z is 2.5 in. shorter than the previous car, with a wheelbase cut by nearly 4 in. It's also 1.7 in. wider, with a roofline lowered by 0.1 in. Despite the shrinkage, the 370Z remains adequate for two 6-ft.-plus individuals, and their luggage is easier to haul because Nissan relocated the rear strut brace forward and lower in the compartment. There's also a proper glovebox. The true benefit of the car's downsized dimensions is less weight. The new Z is more than 200 lb. lighter than the 350Z; it's as if the old Z went on a strict diet and strengthening regimen.
Slideshow >>
The strength part of the equation comes from the VQ37HR. Nissan's 3.7-liter V-6, which also sees duty in the Infiniti G37, has been tuned to produce 332 bhp at 7000 rpm (up 32 bhp) and 270 lb.-ft. of torque at 5200 (up 10 lb.-ft.). The new engine revs smoother than the 3.5-liter V-6 it replaces, and its broader torque curve is made possible in part by Nissan's Continuously Variable Valve Event and Lift Control System, which alters valve timing and lift for increased efficiency.

Nissan SER...Mazda has the Mazdaspeed 3...not to mention the QR25 from previous experience was not that reliable of a motor and build quality sucks.
Altima SER? didn't know they existed still...and we owned that generation altima and build quality was quite bad.
Nismo 350Z...and 350Z getting more power...but the interior still sucks and the paint quality still is horrid and they also have transmission issues...but engine is awesome...I wish mazda would follow suit on this.
370Z I guess we'll have to wait to see if Mazda can counter.
GTR...don't get me started they put on a 'warranty void' switch on the dash...i'll take a Porsche 911 turbo any day...and from my understanding the Porsche is cheaper to maintain (could be wrong)
the RX8 IS low on power, but it looks good, is built great (interior and exterior, drive train is debatable) and compared to the 350Z doesn't feel heavy when driving.

Maybe that is the kind of attitude Mazda doesn't need when designing the next RX. Yes the rx-8 looks good blah blah blah, but the whole reasoning and history behind this car is the performance. Why wouldn't I wanna spend like $4000 more on a car that runs a full second faster on quarter, and is just as fast on turns? I agree the Z doesnt look as good, but the new roof line is much more attractive. The 16x looks impressive but I think the new RX will need to be much light in order to pull a 13 :/ but hey we all have our opinion of what we think is an ideal sports car but honestly, I don't like getting beat by bolt-on'd integras
