Is the 370Z a very light car?

Sigh... The BMW E92 M3 is about 200 pounds heavier than the E46 M3, but it still does quite well for itself. The GTR even comes in at 3800 pounds. The Evo X is what... 3500 pounds??

As said earlier, the weight balances the car. The Z, with it's weight, performs at an extremly high level compared to its competitors. When you do drop the weight on the Z some, even 50 pounds, it will perform that much better.

That said, when matched against the Z's CURRENT competitors, it is a 'light' car. The RX8 and the S2k are still lighter, but the Camaro, Stang, Genesis, and 135i all weight a good deal more.

Why don't we make this the goal: Gain at least, if not more, HP than the Nismo Z, but instead of GAINING weight, drop some off! Now that would be a fun car!

That goal was achieved months ago by several forum members I think
