and yes the beefed up suspension and body kit add weight. or maybe the retarded expensive spoiler actually has gold in it.....

You probably watch Tower Heist too much...

These weights are with full tank of gas, all fluids no passengers.

Yeah my Nismo was around 3200 lbs with running near empty. The nismo bodywork, chassis dampers, big brakes, strut brace, bigger wheels and tires add up.

My Nismo now is headed below 3000 lbs and it still street legal! It's more like Nismo should have been built with lightweight brakes, lightweight flywheel,, no AC, real race seats, tastefully de contented interior. Lightweight battery, CF hood, lightweight exhaust, lightweight suspension pieces, etc.

Has anyone weighed the nismo rear wing? It looks heavy to me. Didn't realize they put gold in it?

Is there a downside in terms of traction removing the spare tire and losing the weight in the rear? Im thinking of doing lightweight battery -20lbs in the front, and removing the spare -30lbs in the back. Later on ill looking into losing the 10lbs with HFC, and some racing seats. The seats is a important one for me, they transform the form and function of the interior, and have the potential to drop alot of weight!

Not ideal to lose weight from back. I don't think it's worth losing spare in street car.
