The track pack is not available with the 350Z roadster.
My lease is up in 2 1/2 years, so currently I want a Mazda 6 V6/5speed with the Autoexe body kit. But I might change my mind when I see the Mazda 3, or Mazdaspeed 6.

I'll be keeping the P5 for a while, too much to do in the house and I can't wait to pay it off...
But my next car will be a 6cyl for damn sure, I miss my 3.0, and the 6cyl-manual cars are hard to come by.
I really would like the LTD Accord 3.0 6-speed.
Dreaming a bit, new Volvo R-Wagon.
Project car, Late 60's Mini Cooper SS.

Why would you EVER want one of those??!?!
In 20 years (maybe even 10), we won't see another 3000GT VR4 on the road. Too much of a pain to repair, and after a while, people will stop being impressed by that techno boat.
Can you imagine, 20 years from now, trying to restore one of those cars? Finding the right computers, wiring, servos? The only ones we'll see will be non-operational in museums.

seeing as how my P5 is not my main mode of transportation...but more of a hobby/toy......my wifes P5 is our main mode of transprotation....
ANYWAY....back to the question of this thread....what will be my next car?
without a doubt....a 427 Cobra. I have already been shopping and pricing them out....not to mention starting a FUND to pay for it when the time comes. I figure in about a year and a half.....then I will be SERIOUS about getting one....as then my P5 will be totally paid for. then we will be talking some SERIOUS ground pounding automobile!

I actually already own my next car, but it's in slightly better than junkyard condition. Once I finish it:
'54 Bel Air 2 door.
I have the option of dropping a Buick 327 in it, but I'm deciding to keep the inline 6 for authenticity and practicality - it won't be raced. I'm going with a light tan / forest green color scheme. The roof and wheel well accent will be the green while the rest will be the tan. My old boss was looking to sell it because he was spending all of his time on his 454 Chevelle. He gave me the Bel Air at no cost in exchange that I work with him on the Chevelle. It was fine with me, I would've helped him just for the experience. Anyways, here's the same body with different colors:

Well, I have 3 options, none of which will take place until this time next year at least...
1) '82 RX-7 20BT
. I already have the chassis, I'm just scrapped for cash with the P5 (notes and insurance SUCK). When I get the note paid down (or off) I will continue working on this one
2) '94 Miata. Suspension all the way, turbo. Autocross demon.
3) '01 Skyline V-SpecII. 'Nuff said.
As it stands, option 1 is the most likely to be realized. I'm not in that big a hurry, though. I love my P5

My next car has to be AWD, which means it will probably be a WRX Sti. My dad has a 2.5 Impreza which is really awesome and I love driving it, so unless another cheap AWD car comes onto the market (not a huge fan of Mitsubishi), the WRX STi will be my next car.
Oh, I have to put in a word for a Z06, I took one of these out on the track for a couple of days and it blew my mind! (but I'm still looking for AWD)
