We are overlooking one area of weight saving for the 370Z: those Akebono brakes.

Since alot of G35 guys ended up upgrading their brakes to the Akebono brakes from the G37, which are exactly the same as the Z34 brakes, they all had a first hand experience at how heavy those rotors really are.

A 2-piece aftermarket rotor would definitely help. Especially since that's all unsprung weight, which has more of an impact on acceleration than other areas of weight.
