As for the CF hatch, I have seen it for $3800 on Bulletproof's site in dry carbon.
I personally would get it if I could get a better deal on the price...maybe sub $3K.
CF doors alone would cost approx $5k.
What are the weight saving for these over stock?

Not for sure of the weight savings so you should give Bulletproof a call. As for my personal assessment, it would not be that substantial because the hatch has to support one of the heaviest items(rear glass window).

anyone know how much weight cf doors would save? i'm sure it would be a decent amount of money but if it is a substantial weight saving it would probably be a better weight/horse power upgrade than a lot of engine upgrades for the z

kgm * 7.223 = ft lb ~= 342 ft lb
352 ps (metric hp) ~= 347 hp

Ether, were you able to get a pic of the dyno chart so we can see the powerband? Anyhow, awsome info, thanks!

That's hp & tq rated at the crank right?

Sounds like an interesting SC if it does indeed obtain max boost before redline, that'd be beyond sweet to have an CF SC w/ the characterstics of a turbo, only simpler.
