Roadster weight
Will someone who owns a roadster please post the curb weight declared in the owners manual. I asked my local dealer and they act as stupid about the specs as when I bought my coupe from them, the old shrug of the shoulders and "I dunno". The Nissan site is all FU, sying you can get a track roadster, and that the coupe and roadster wigh the same. I can' believe Nissan hasn't gotten there web info straight after the misery of the 03 release. The roadster has got to weigh more than the coupe.

I believe they weigh in about 200 pounds heavier, but not much more than that.
EDIT - From MSN:

These are the Roadster's specs:
Enthusiast Roadster / Touring Roadster
Curb Weight - Automatic (lb.) 3445 / 3479
Curb Weight - Manual (lb.) 3428 / 3462
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the coupe's specs:
Coupe / Enthusiast Coupe / Performance Coupe / Touring Coupe / Track Coupe
Curb Weight - Automatic (lb.) No Data / 3210 / No Data / 3239 / No Data
Curb Weight - Manual (lb.) 3188 / 3197 / 3217 / 3247 / 3225

Don't mean to bump a 13 year old thread. But can anyone specify where exactly all the extra 200# is??
I know a good amount probably comes from the top and its inner workings.. But where in the "strengthened chassis" is the rest of the weight? Someone told me even the body panels are more rigid than coupe panels...
Figured I'd use the search and resurrect an old thread on the topic than create a new one and get slammed for not searching lol

Yea I know that. What I'm curious about is where/what is exactly beefier or changed to make up for the rigidity.
Since I'm rebuilding a roaster i want to know where the weight and strength parts are so I can work on cutting out some of the weight but make sure don't delete or remove the rigid sections.
