thanks for the link! that's probably the first car site that I have seen that has listed the weight of a car!

I tried to google the new 370Z's weight and every review I read had, power this, power that, but not one site said how much the car weighed.

the 1200kg for the mx-5 is impressive for a modern car!

The current wheels list the 350 Z at 1533 kg for the Touring model and 1633 kg for the Roadster .

Most likely the 370 Z will be near these figures its a bit of a porker but 0-100km is quoted at 5.2 .

The GTR 35 weighs in at 1750kg but goes like a bat out of hell

According to this article by motortrend significant efforts have been made to reduce weigh and improve handling etc

Mazda should realise that cross breeding can lead to disatrous results....

Two words danny...brilliant effort. I would be very interested to see what difference the mod had on speed and torque vs the original stock engine.

 

The funniest part of this picture is that "your" should be "you're."
