The reason the Cayman is lighter is because of the rear engine design. The engine sits right above the rear axle so less drive train. The Z has to send the power to the back wheels which means additional parts and additional weight. But if you think the Z is heavy compare the GTR with Porches in its class, yet it manages surprisingly well.
