I could go for the additional simplicity of a set of accurate analog gauges and maybe a manual top rather than power. The engine only gives the illusion of simplicity, however.

I agree about the analog (FULL set) and the top.

I like the digital gauges. I'd be happy to keep them. I'd be even happier with the addition of an oil pressure gauge and an ammeter/voltmeter. A sportscar is supposed to have a full set of gauges, including these two.

So funny. Everyone loves it just the way it is, except for one or two things... How are we any different from the yunguns over in S2000 Talk?

I really miss having an oil pressure gauge -- that's the only thing I'd like to have in my car that I do not have -- except for better sound quality from the radio/cd player (I'm noticing that more since the top's been up the past few days -- I could care less when the top is down).

I agree with all the posts here.

The only items on my wish list are self-leveling HIDs and relocating the power window switches forward (or putting them somewhere on the dash, or even better the center console) since they are awkward to get to. While we're at it, the trunk release button also should be on the center console.

That these are the only things I can think of says a lot about how thrilled I've been with the car

Well, let me add one other little thing - I'd like a stock, factory-installed low weight low-boost supercharger and a tougher differential too... and one of those light weight quiet titanium exhausts... and heated seats... and adjustable steering wheel responsiveness... and those digital tire pressure readouts on the dash... and 255 width tires front and 235 tires rear... and... oh nevermind!
