370Z details emerge
http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/11/n...-japanese-mag/

good news is 370z's chasis is smaller than the current version. Nissan has been testing a smaller car in a 350Z body at nurburgring for months, people thought its a new model or the new silvia, but it turned out its the new Z and its gotten shorter and presumably lighter.


other than that, its not too exciting next to the GT-R, yawns.
I guess it will go up vs the new 16X next gen rx

If they manage to lean out the weight significantly whilst maintaining the hp, it will be a real track weapon! We can't crack those fat jokes no more....

It hasn't been confirmed that the car is actually lighter. I know it's not the same car, but the G37 is heavier than the G35. The is G37 just as fast as a G35.

Man, I wish I could remember who it was, but someone actually laughed at me when I mentioned the 370Z.
