However, the weight savings is much needed. 3300 is really heavy for a sports car this size, and it's easier to live with adding power (FI) than dropping weight (stripping interior, smaller battery, etc).
It's not light, but I wouldn't really call 3,300 lbs "heavy." I think a curb weight of 3,000 lbs would be right on the mark. Anyway, I think the GT-R can attest to the fact that lighter doesn't always mean faster. They need to work their magic on the Z.
