I was looking at curb weight of the two vehicles per my subject line on yahoo and saw that there is about a 100 lb difference. I'm not the most technical but can anyone share some of the major factors or am I reading incorrect information?

 

leather, more sound deadening material, etc. our car is a heavy car, especially the roadster

 

I guess '06 owners will have to start a diet to make up for the difference lol.

 

I am pretty sury I compared the coupe Z with the Altmia. We dont have a back seat and the car is smaller. Is it something with the tye of metal used in the frame, RWD????

 

Start them now..... hurry......

 

The VTEC makes the Z heavy.

But the rsx is still heavier.

 

Awesomness is heavy.

 

Isn't the Altima front wheel drive ??

 

the rear pumpkin ways like 90lbs...and the altima doesnt have that

 

My guess would be that the larger wheels on the Z add some weight. And my parents have an Altima and although the build quality feels similiar to the Z, the doors definitely feel lighter and less heavy-duty. I think the Z has extra reinforcement and/or more crap hidden away.

 

That's cuz the Altima's body is made out of all carbon fiber!

 

I wish the Z had VTEC.....it would run 12's

The frame is stiffer and heavier as well as being RWD with a drive shaft, rear pumpkin, larger wheels, brakes etc...

 

Safety features I'm sure are also a reason.
