Default Amuse's Fairlady Z

I've been watching the latest Best Motoring Videos and I found that Amuse has this lightweight 350z. They brought the weight down to about 1300 Kilos i believe (with AC and interior). Multiply that by 2.2 and you get 2,860lbs. That's pretty light for a Z. The reason for this is because they made carbon fiber DOORS (Yes I said doors), Carbon fiber fenders, and a Carbon fiber hood for the Z. They also had other things like lightweight seats, rims, and a titanium exhaust. Has anybody else seen this?

Also, does anybody have any information on purchasing these Amuse products?
I think these lightweight components, especially the carbon fiber doors, would be an advantage for people that track their cars. You would be able to tackle corners with ease.

Please correct me if i'm missing anything or if i'm wrong about something.

how fast you want to go goes hand in hand with how much you want to spend.

This Amuse Z is tha ultimate N/A Z (Flawless) for the moment. Even the Espirit Z (350hp NA power)couldn't keep up with it in the Track.

Not even the Lightweight Amuse S2000 that have been mod almost the same as the Amuse Z.

You'll see this on the latest Hot Version (jap only). It's a very cool race.

Also, not a lot of people will put a roll cage in their car when you have those CF doors. Unless you really want to tempt fate with a side impact from another car.
