i want to know the weight!!!1

KasbeKZ

i remember an article saying that it's somewhere near 200 lbs lighter than the 350. i'll see if i can find it again to verify.

KingDatsun1

Its just over 3200 lbs, http://www.rsportscars.com/nissan/2009-nissan-370z/

The 350Z base is 3200lbs and already has an aluminum hood. The 370Z needs to be under 3000 to be a couple hundred pounds lighter.

Also, your 2nd picture up there is a just a photoshopped 350Z.

KasbeKZ

the door handle is the only evidence i see of that^^^. is that what you're going off of?

and i must have read a bad article.

NismoPick

First page of google images... pretty crappy photoshopping actually....

SpeciallySpiked

Yep, the roof line is different too

KasbeKZ

oh i see the lines now lol.

KingDatsun1

fixed.

They need to do away with that goofy *** sideways door handle and put a pull style body colored door handle on there. That's the only exterior design flaw imo. It just sticks out like a ripe pimple.

snwbrderphat540

i like the handle style, but i think they should made it more flush and match the cars color.

Welcome to the jungle babies... You gonna DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i looked up more about the 370... they take to mods well. headers highflow cats cat back and intake thing put down between 317-327 at the wheels (depending on which dyno was used) thats pretty impressive from the base 267whp.

Sweets

Or it could just be a poorly designed factory intake and exhaust system.

snwbrderphat540

lol, for the R&D put in its not "poorly" designed, its legally and comfortably designed as well as maximize performance, while its a sports car and power is important, sacrifices are NEEDED to meet the ever increasing demand for emissions reduction and noise pollution. plus not every one wants a loud car even though they want a sports car. they are designed to meet in a neutral area so all parties are happy, both the sport guys, the family people, and the government.

Sweets

That is very true. I bet the car sounds badass with air intakes and a full exhaust!

This video shows the Z beating the GT in a drag race by 2 tenths
oh, and the Sega Genesis is there too way in the back running the same as a 7 year old Honda S2000
Also running a 14.2 second quarter mile is a supercharged Barbie Corvette spinning out of control

Too bad the front looks like a catfish & not feeling the design of the F/R lights. The rest is quite nice for a 2 seater.

Bleach

Comparing base model Z's, the 370Z is 110 lbs lighter than a 2006-2008 350Z...
...yet 44 lbs heavier than the 2003-05 models.

Nissan claims the 370Z is "a couple hundred pounds lighter than the 350Z"

domsgarage

Maybe someone forgot to pull the dead hooker out of the trunk when they last weighed it.

mswift

I agree with AboostedG, the 2 seater is very nice but the front is a fail to me...

Bleach

NISMO 370Z has a nice looking front and rear change. Quite the upgrade from the rear of the NISMO 350Z...

jovyarcher

the front bumper and rear is uniquely different compared to other cars. Even the lights looks amazing.
