Again I have no clue where you get your info from but the Sedan weighs around 3300lb. Mine weighed 3380 at the track for a 05 which was heavier than the 03-04. The Coupes weigh 3450+.
And who is talking about coilovers? Shoot my sedan only had Stillen sways and still beat the 300ZX and other 350z on the track but mostly passed 300s.

I had a base model 05 Sedan with sunroof. No bose, had leather, heated seats, but nothing extra.
I also had Stillen True Dual Exhaust gen 1 which was a bit lighter than the stock exhaust. Just like the Z33, the weight figures from Nissan are not accurate. I had other performance mods, but nothing that was suspension other than the sways and wheels/tires.

You're also comparing power to weight ratio between a 240z and the 350 whale.

just for the record a stock z33 vs a stock z32tt in the US is about equally fast. my friend got a 90 z32tt about the same time as i got my 03 z33 and we raced them, and we were dead even about. However that's comparing us emissions standards on the z32tt, the i believe the japanese z32tt is faster than the z33 because the z33 is not held back by any emissions standards
