The true benefit of the car's downsized dimensions is less weight. The new Z is more than 200 lb. lighter than the 350Z; it's as if the old Z went on a strict diet and strengthening regimen.

I hate it when reading comprehension pwns staff writers. Yes, Nissan's release mentions 200 lbs of weight savings compared to some of last year's components... and then mentions that there is added weight from newer parts so there is only a net decrease of 90 lbs or so.

Clearly this writer failed to read the entire press-release. And he gets paid to do this!

True. With the correction factor it should be right around 13.5, maybe 13.4.
