As somone who has torn this car apart and have had sheetmetal cut out no doubt in my mind why it weighs as much as a small tank. The chassis is massive from huge rails that traverse the car to heavy subframes, to motor and tranny. Its a big car and Nissan has no hesitation over engineering structures and using tons of steel.

Although my car is headed to sub 2600 lb territory soon. I know where all wieght hiding places are for this car now. But not many people are going to be willing to be quite as crazy as me.
