Again like scotts post, where is it lighter? Want to keep dreaming that?
Wow you are making a big deal out of nothing at all nissan only said they made it lighter and they did.....they did not however specify how much weight they actually removed
It is lighter and that is that..... they removed somewere around 150lbs of weight which is right because the 370Z 3250 give or take compaired to 3400 of a touring 350z
370Z is a better car end of thread.

The ones in the table are dry weight and the 370z has a full tank of gas according to Forged, so it is not 100% an equal comparison.
According to Nissan a base Z should be 3,232 while a touring should be 3,278.

By changing the A-pillar and Hatch to Aluminum aswell as the Doors
There is 100lbs of your weight savings there........if you really want to get into details the 370Z is more around 300lbs lighter.... but some of that is negated due to the increase in saftey standards/equipment
You cant argue with the facts........ by the way the weights that are claimed are dry weights no fuel in them that is were the other 114lbs comes in so that brings the total to 214lbs lighter so far

The 370z also got more crash safety stuff which is why it gained the weight back. Again my NISMO weighed 3324 with 3/4 of a tank of gas left and everything in the car. That car weighed 3323 with a full tank and was a base sport model.
Facts are facts. It doesn't weigh less and doesn't weigh more.
I am going by actual weighs of the cars that were weighed. And that is straight up accurate numbers that you can't deny.

You seriously think that numbers taken from a truck scale are more accurate than the manufacturers numbers. You must have down's syndrome or something.

The 370Z is lighter then the 350Z it replaced. Compare equally equipped models of an 08 350Z and an 09 370Z and the 370Z will be lighter. It dosnt matter what an 03 350Z weighed in at.

Ok here it goes I have read through the 6 pages of this thread and it seems that there is quite a debate on whats true/false
370Z-- Proven Track time for a Stock AUTO 13.2 on several occasions
370Z-- Gains on average 17whp from Stillen Gen 3 intaks Proven on several occasions on different dynos
370Z-- With full bolt-ons I/H/HFC/E Makes an additional 35-45whp with out tune proven on several dynos
370Z--Making 340whp with basic boltons very common
Hope that clears some stuff up

your math is a little off, the 370z has roughly 265-270whp stock. With the gain of 45whp from the "basic bolt ons" plus a tune, thats only 315whp
so your fourth line doesn't quite add up

I like how the facts have been posted with pictures to back them up yet there's still discussion on weight...
