UPDATE: This is taking off hard and the number of suggestions is becoming overwhelming. So hold those thoughts guys, I'm closing suggestions for now until we get some of the existing issues cleared.
Moved to top because everybody seems to have missed it and is continuing to post suggestions.
The time is now. The opportunity is here. Kaz has officially announced updates. He also said he watches forums. We have the chance, right here right now, to give him ideas and to seal GTP's place in the history of the New GT.
So, basically what we do is argue over what we want, weigh that against how long we're willing to wait for GT6, put a bunch of legalese on the final request, and find a method of contacting PD.
What I'm hoping for is:
-A livery editor
-More course editor themes
-THE RETURN OF THE MISSING GT4 TRACKS
-Maybe a few more premiums
-Time-based, rather than laps-based, online and arcade mode racing - is this in from release?
-And maybe a bit more in-depth customization, possibly including a return to GT3's list of racing tire compounds.
-Machine test. Added to master list with no debate - no idea how I missed this one.
-Various random bug fixes, can't argue with this.
-More precise control over the track maker
A combination of livery editor, more customization, and more premiums could easily lend itself to a highly complicated and in-depth OLR series, which is why I put them on the starting list.
Any ideas? Anything you want to add or remove? If we get this done in time, we can more or less choose where GT goes from here.
OK here are some:
-Hood view for standards
-Option to fully or partially remove HUD
-Online leaderboards
-Full G25/G27 Support
-Fix jagged graphics
-Return of FPV (White & Nerdy adds: Hyundai Accent Rally Car too!)
-More cars eligible for RM
-Remove the Car delivery system from SP (White & Nerdy adds: how exactly does this work? I've seen very little about it)
-Weather for all tracks (W&N says: time change too!)
-Remove the paint collecting method and just give us a bloody pallet (W&N: That or allow us to buy colors independently of cars)
-Bring back old GT tracks missing from the game
-Option to review paint on your car before you actually use it.
-A confirmation for the restart button in the pause menu of a race, so that when you accidentally press it you won't have to restart all over
-Be able to upload cars and credits from Prologue
-End copy protection on save game files
-Point to point option in course maker
-Change rims on standard cars
-More balanced car list - more American and less Japanese, especially duplicate Japanese (W&N says: What's done is done. There's still hope for more balance in GT6, however)
-More world real life tracks (like Mexican "Rodríguez Brothers Racetrack" )
-The track, grass etc.. with more imperfections,(actual asphalt&grass looks very "brand new" and looks a little unrealistic ) even more realistic smoke, more detailed graphics. (W&N: Not likely now that the game is finished & released. Also, edited for grammar & spelling)
-More rims and they must cycle (White & Nerdy: Uh...)
-Replace the random/cycling new car dealerships with a static dealership a la GT1-4 (W&N says: this was my idea, but I didn't add it to the main list because I wanted to see how it would go over here first)
-LAN mode
-Kia C'd/Chevy Lacetti (complete the TG portion of the game)
-Support for HP & weight restrictions in online lobbies
-Porsche (W&N says: even if they did get the licensing worked out, they probably wouldn't be able to model any cars quickly enough to use as GT5 DLC)
-B-spec speed back up (W&N: What does this mean?)
-If you start a race, and you forgot i.e. to set-up your car, you have to go all back to Main-menu and start all-over again
-Should be easier to skip the award screen if your doing license and want to go gold
-Traction Control is activated on Sebastian Loeb challenge, seems strange to me, maybe it should be changed?
-Brake Bias is always 50/50, I don't think real cars are like that, maybe it should be changed
-I can't go to A-Spec screen and take a look what car i should buy when i currently have the PDI Kart activated (W&N: I'm barely getting your meaning here, but whatever)
-If there is a problem to connet to the server, game freeze for 30 second until timeout when exiting A-Spec menu, should be fixed if possible
-Repetetive menu BGM (W&N: Does it really matter?)
-It should be easier to filter cars, like in GT4, the power-to-weight filter is missing
-In Online mode, it should be possible only the room owner starts the race, also in regulations it should be possible to set a power limit (already covered), in tire restrictions Racing Soft is missing.
-Check the pad controller code for bugs
-Give advanced users more pad configuration options
-Adjust the G25/G27 clutch-gearshift debounce speed
-Allow permanent disabling of all driving aids so you don't have to turn them off before every race
-Escort Cosworth, Sierra RS500, Fiesta RS, VW Scirocco, more M3s and Golfs, more significant American cars
-Make all cars available in arcade mode with a patch or a $10 special DLC (W&N: Really?????)
-Enable headtracking in all modes
-Stronger FFB
-Multiscreen
-Show personal best time for all tracks
-Reintroduce fast forward for B-spec
-Allow us to change our racing suit
-Premium/post-03 Subaru Legacies
-Reintroduce brake upgrades (W&N says: why was it taken out in the first place?)
-Enable custom soundtrack online
-Enable HP rather than KW power statistic in the Russian version
-Enable tuning to increase the value of the car
-Turn off annoying Spanish people talking while racing online There's no mute button? If someone's annoying you (and who am I kidding, that certainly does happen), just mute them. Suggestion CLOSED.
-A Reliant Robin Since this is even more ridiculous than the Premium Panda I'm going to assume it's a joke. Suggestion CLOSED for now.
-Premium Fiat Panda '90 Joke Submission. Suggestion CLOSED
Remember, we can't ask for the moon, especially if we want GT6 in less than 10 years. So feel free to discuss/debate/argue over what should be DLC'd and what should wait.

@Famine: My intention in changing the topic title to "The official un-official petition" was somewhat humorous, but it's hard to explain. Whatever, it's not worth talking about.
