SR powered 350Z weight
I know there have been skeptical people around about putting an SR20 motor into a Z. I was going to sell the setup and do a twin turbo VQ, but lack of time we re-assembled the SR setup with some changes for the 2008 season.
Anyone want to guess the weight of the car? (there will be plus and minus a couple pounds till it is on the track but it is 99% done so we scaled it)

And I could have sworn the SR was in the 3xxlb range as well.

the car is 2389lbs. we did a lot of work to it in the off season to get it to a competitive point. we are still running the titan car as the primary car, the sr is getting rebuilt for backup and for demos.
and the weight distribution is still set right...
does anyone know what the lightest (non tube-chassis) Z is?

what else did you do for weight reduction besides lighter motor, and how did you maintain the f/r ratio? cut out everything behind the seats? no more plastic parts, no radio parts, lighter suspension parts, brakes, wheels, exhaust, fuel cell possibly??
