Exactly!

10lbs of rotating mass is actually quite significant for $400 especially on the power axle

Im looking for the thread where the guy dyno'd his car after installing lighter rotors and saw a I wanna say 4-6 hp increase

This i know... i was referring to the braking differences i believe.

And Meulen... it doesn't matter if the driven wheels are lighter... 4 of them have to spin

Unless of course your car ONLY drives on a dyno

Seriously though... I you remove mass from the front it has the same affect as removing the from the rear rotating mass. Just because the fronts aren't powered doens't mean they dont' have to spin upon acceleration.

Okay the Z has been winterized.
- 18" OEM wheels w/ Blizzaks
- Wrapped oil cooler with header wrap
- Swapped out 2 piece rotors for OEM

The Z is now a drift machine with 245 winters on the rear... wheeeeeeee
