People kept complaining about road noise....

So all of the corporate North American Nissan members decided to fly to japan and take a dump on the chasis.





(honestly: I've only heard sound deadening and steering assist)

That midget comment is not funny. I'm a midget, and I don't take kindly to such remarks.

Wouldn't a 200lb midget be classified as a ball and not a midget?

It's the American diet -- the average-sized Z comes to the U.S for 3 years and all the dougnuts and hamburgers goes into it's freaking a$$. Obesity is hitting home.

You don't look like a midget on your myspace page.

I think its roughly 150lbs increase from 05 models. You figure sound deadening (who knows the exact weight), larger stock brakes, standard 18" wheels (25+lbs each?) possibly chasis reinforcements for safety?

Sound deadening, huh?
If any '06 owners have pics I'd like to see what the factory has done - I'm thinking as little as they can, cheap as they can but effective at the most noticeable points.
Post pics if you're ambitious!
