here is the 06's but I think they are heavier than the earlier models. My 03 Touring with hardly any gas and spare and tools etc out is 3360#

I weighed my 06 with 1/4 tank of gas, no spare/tools, single exhaust, test pipes, Ypipe, MREVplus kit... 3,170

If nissans numbers are correct that sounds about right given your weight reductions....1/4tank -80lbs off curb, spare&tools -40lbs, single exhaust/test pipes/ypipe shaved off at least another 40lbs or so???

I knew my car was fat. That is almost 200# lighter than mine.

Anyone know where most of the Z's weight comes from? It's weird for such a small car to be that heavy. I just checked edmunds to get some quick curb weights:

C5 Vette - 3179 lbs
Acura RSX-S - 2840 lbs
'06 Civic Si - 2877 lbs
'06 Mustang GT - 3488 lbs

'06 350Z Base - 3339 lbs


I'd like to lighten mine up a bit with mods if it's not too much trouble. Imagine the improved acceleration and handling if you could drop 500lbs off the Z.

Best thread on this subject

I think it should be a sticky.

That estimate of 3370 for an 06 track is right on. I have removed about 73 lbs so far and weighed my car this past weekend @ 3300 lbs even.

The chassis. It's a shared design rather than a purpose built chasis like the other cars you listed. It's shared with the altima I believe.. which is a large car.. correct me if I'm wrong..

I can't remember if it was the Altima or an SUV chassis. Whatever it is, the chassis is pretty damn heavy, but sturdy as well.

my car with no gas in it, i mean with the light flashing, both sparcos, in weighs right under 2780 on TWO different scales, you guys need to lighten up your cars a lot....

i have lmgt4s

i weigh 175


its fully gutted behind the seats, no power steering or cooler, no wiper in back, no windshield washer stuff, nothing that isnt needed....

I have the same car as you, but only change to lighter wheels and exhaust and it still wieghs 3360# with 1/8 tank of gas and every other thing out that I don't need a wrench to remove.

No one wants a gutted daily driver.. but if it was solely a track car.. sure

defex

PS wouldnt that FUBAR your 50/50 weight distribution?

iTrader: (1)

Mine is a daily driver, otherwise I would be drilling holes in everything.

Audible Mayhem

EVERYONE that has said they wouldnt like a gutted daily driver has changed their mind when they saw it. it looks so much cleaner. if you sit in the front seats, it looks just like yours, just everything behind the seats is out.


i never drive the car, i have a truck i drive daily, its my toy.
