I was surprised to see the weight of the stock at 54, I'm guessing that's due to the single Ypipe. I measured the NISMO at 66 LBS and the HKS at 60 LBS. It's a weight savings for me
Not to get off topic:

In fact I brought the base model 010, 370Z, AT bone stock without any of the packages , with weight concerns in mind.

I owned a 08, 350Z Touring loved the car, but I felt it was too heavy for my taste ; the idea of Nissan making the 370Z lighter was a step in the right direction IMO!

What I didn’t want to do is load up the car, with none performance stuff which would bring the cars weight right back up again.

I felt with the base AT bone stock I would be able to pick the mods and control how much weight I wanted in the car and wind up with a lighter Z car at the end of the day.

It’s interesting my base AT bone stock ,weighs 37 lb more than a bone stock 6MT, but 10 to 43 lbs less than some of the touring and 31 lbs less than a Nismo.

I guess I‘ll be over my bone stock curb weight of 3,269 lb + 11lbs Stillen CBE, over stock CBE total 3,280 lbs.

When I swap out my stock HFC for Berks I’ll shed 7 lbs. then I’ll be at 3,273 lbs. , I also plan on swapping out my Stillen “Y” pipes for Tanabe “Y” pipes may shed some weight off there too.

That's it no more burrito's !
