It looks like the Z has gained 13lbs at base manual. What year do these stats come from?

Unless your car is special, your car is not 3232lbs with the sport package. My car from the factory came in at 3350lbs and i have a crappy 09

Nissan's curb weight numbers are questionable at best.

Base + Sport = 1500 kg (3307 lb)
Touring = 1510 kg (3329 lb)
Touring + Sport = 1520 kg (3351 lb)

Also, the JDM Sports Package does not include the rear wing and front spoiler (those are separate options), so the US Sport Package is a bit heavier yet.

I think the data on the nissanusa website is a little too optimistic, as the car mag test weights seem to match the Japanese weight data. OTOH, the Japanese brochure uses nice round numbers in kg, so I don't think it's 100% exact either.

I believe the 3250 figures, but it is most likely for a base model. If you think about it, the sport package can definitely add some weight to it. The 14" brakes are huge, same with the 19" tires. It's probably not 100lbs, but it's got to be more than 50lbs. The weight is just for benchracing anyway, don't get too caught up in it.
