You might be referring to the E46 m3 last gen. The new V8 m3 weighs around 3700 lbs or 1681 kg. At most the 370z weighs 3350 lbs or 1522 kg and thats being generous. I have a base model which autos.msn has at 3250 lbs (1477 kg). Its not rocket science to assume a german v8 semi-luxury passenger vehicle is going to weigh more than a 2 seater japanese sports car. The Z isn't an rx-8 or honda s2000 lightweight but it certainly has a weight advantage over a new m3.
