'03-'05 base Zs weigh 3,188 but starting in '06 base Zs weigh 3,339. What the reason for the 151 pound gain?

 

This question was just asked, please search.

nicE first post, welcome

 

Please guys... lets be nice...

 

because you eat too much jk

I believe most have said its due to much more vibration and sound insulation than previous models.

 

Yeah, I heard the cabin of the '06 is more quiet than the '03-'05 models. Part of the extra weight is probably due to more sound deadening material.

 

my bros weighed in at 3200 on a race track scale, it had a true dual exhaust.

 

doesnt matter anyway, mod for mod REVUP is better.

 

easy with the high and mighty talk

 

Harder to lose weight than add power. IMHO

 

Not really. How hard is it to strip down a car if you really really wanted to? Not that hard....

sorry just had to finish it

 

Yeah but you obviously sacrifice alot of things.

Losing a 150lbs in a car is a big deal, unless you had boat loads of discretionary funds for your car and start swapping out high dollar parts: titanium muffler, CF body panels etc...

Adding an extra 15 or so horsepower to the crank of a Z and still have a full-body car? Not so hard....to me at least.

 

Yeah, it just depends how far you are willing to go. I got 135# out of my old ITR for the track, but I was driving around in a tin can. And that was a daily driver.
