The base 350z weighs in the 3200lb range which is much less than what the 370z weighs. Been discussed in detail on my350z.

Car & Driver reviews production 370Z, now weighs a lot more than expected - MY350Z.COM Forums

Someone just weighed their 370 on this forum; plus or minus a few items, but I think the weight came out to 3320 or something like that. The weight of this car does not bother me... yet. I will wait for a test drive and then give final verdict. I want the Z to handle and be as tossable as my MS equipped RX8. If the Z wows me over my current car, then it will handle and be more tossable than the 350 either way.

I think it was either MT or C&D that rated the Nismo 350Z in the same handeling category as the normal RX8 (not even the MS suspension equipped version). If the 370 comes close to my car stock, wow... what a car. I have a feeling it may, even with its weight. I rented a Maxima for a family getaway to Sedona and was VERY surprised by its handeling, despite its 3580 weight. I kept telling myself, "Imagine a car much shorter than this, lighter, and with more power...WOW... Wait a tick.. I am thinking of the 370Z!!! WOW!!"

Can't wait for the test drive.

That is why I bought the NISMO. Way more tossable than a normal 350z. Feels like I am on rails.

The NISMO 350Z even beat the S2000 CR.
