370Z weigh 1499 Kg with a full tank of gas?

[AK370Z]

Yes! They weighed a Nissan 370Z with full tank of gas and it came out to be 1499 kg. I used the 1 kg = 2.2 lbs formula and get 3297.8 lbs. That's good enough for me. I give Nissan Thumbs up for keeping the car below 3300 even with a bigger displacement, new safety protocols, etc.

not bad.........a lot of weight comes form all those electrical stuff.....lol

the G37 weighs more then a my full size car from the 80's............hahahahah

[Endgame]

See... I Thought it would not weigh as much as some of the reviews have shown.... Not sure how the reviewers numbers get inflated so much.

How much weight does a full tank of gas add? I plan to run mine half full!

The only thing we can't tell is if this model has the Sport pack...

Sport package comes with that black chin spoiler in the front. This yellow one looks like it has it so I assume this car has the sport package.

i think the sport package has the more aggressive under spoiler.

like so

Wow, the cross weight is really good for a stock car.

Care to explain what that means? I'm guessing it means that the car is just relatively even from Left to Right? I don't really know though, please explain

Ah. OK. Time for school I guess (but not condescendingly so!).

Compare these two sums:

LF+RR
RF+LR

The "cross weight" is computed this way:

CW=(RF+LR)/(LF+RF+LR+RR)

The idea here is that the cross weight should equal 0.5, or 50%. This can be adjusted to be true using the spring perch adjustments on coilover suspensions, or in the case of old solid-axle racers like "modified" dirt track cars and NASCAR stock cars, by adjusting the "wedge", or right rear upper spring perch screw jack. Even if the left side and right side sums are not equal, the cross weight can be made equal. In contrast, the left-to-right weight bias cannot be adjusted with spring perch adjustments but must be adjusted with the movement of ballast across the car.

So, why do we care about the cross weight? Because this affects the bias of the car's performance towards a left or right turn. Oval track cars are biased towards left turns, and therefore run a lot of "wedge", that is, an unbalanced cross weight. For road cars and road race cars, generally it is best to have a balanced cross weight, so that left and right turns are equally good.

So my comment is that the stock 370Z, straight from the factory, has a pretty good cross weight. Immediately we can see (assuming a sample of many Z cars showed similar measurements) that the Z is precisely put together, and that the springs are quality units. The only other way to get a nice cross weight is to use horribly soft springs, and we know that's not true.

haha, thanks for the explanation! + rep

Wow! Great post!

1kg = 2.23lbs sooo thats 3,342lbs

[dyezak]

According to the owners manual the 370z holds 19gal of unleaded gasoline.

According to imperial measurments gasoline weighs between 5.9 and 6.5lb/gal depending on the fuel mixture.

According to math (using an average weight of 6.2lb/gal for gasoline) a full tank of gas on the 370z would weigh 117.8lbs....

When I autox a car I run at 1/4tank of fuel, no spare, no jack, removed floormats. Based on the above information in this thread we can assume that a B Stock SCCA Solo II 370z would weigh:

Stock (full tank of gas): 3,342lbs
minus 3/4 tank of gas: 88lbs
minus spare (conservative): 30lbs
minus jack/floormats: 5lbs
TOTAL: 3,219lbs

This doesn't even take into account the fact you can run lighters wheels/tires (20-30lbs here), hollow front anti-roll bar (2-3lbs here), and a lighter weight exhaust (prepare to loose around 30-40lbs here).

I think it's safe to say that a B Stock SOLO II car can be under 3,200lbs race ready.

I think 3340ish is about right, as the reviewers have claimed.

This is with a full take of gas.

Since the Bose sub is located inside the actual spare, does anyone know if we will be able to remove all the spare tire junk while still keeping the speaker there and vibration-free?
