370Z Touring with sport package weight (MT)
I have been trying to find a convincing reference for the weight of
a 2009 370Z Touring with sport package (manual transmission), and I think I've got a decent estimate now- 3,346 lbs (3,232lb base 370Z + 46lb Touring package + 68lbs for NISMO equipment = 3,346 lbs) All of the weights above have been taken/deduced from the Nissan numbers in the brochure/website (NISMO equipment weight = NISMO 370Z weight - base 370Z weight). The NISMO package is used as a rough equivalent for the sport package because the NISMO package uses the same brakes (calipers & rotors), LSD, and synchrorev match MT. Furthermore, the NISMO equipment uses similar size tires & wheels (same size but 1/2 inch wider); and the NISMO spoilers & body molding should be slightly heavier than the spoilers on the sport package. So, all in all the NISMO package will be a little bit heavier than the sport package. That said, anybody found additional convincing references for the weight of a 2009 370Z Touring with sport package (MT)? Would be nice to get a statement from Nissan somewhere : ) |

The door sticker? A scale? Your vehicle registration?

If you want all the bells and whistles, get the Nismo and be done with it..
Personally I didnt find justification for the Touring cost over the base w/ Sport package in Hawaii. We all mod later so I added wider Volk rims and stickier tires, Injen intake, FI exhaust, and found Clazzio leather seat covers to get where Im at and saving some weight (except for the rims were total 16lbs heavier overall but 1/2" wider front/rear and wider tires up front.) |

Here's an ancient thread I created when the 370Z wasn't even released in the U.S. check it out
370Z weigh 1499 Kg with a full tank of gas? Base+sport should be 33xx (low 3300s).

Maybe my scale at the dump isn't accurate, they say the car was 3600lbs with a full tank of gas and me in it (210), so 3390 still seems almost 100lbs too much.
