Agreed. For the money and all the safety laws it has to adhere to, the Z is fairly light.
If you wanna talk about a car that bulked up, the E30 M3 was something like 2800 lbs. but the E90 is now 3700 or so.
And if you're overweight, you really shouldn't be complaining about how much the car weighs.
