Modshack that article was going through my mind this whole time Big rep for using it so eloquently!

they did the same thing with a Cadillac way back in the day it had a 502 in it and they were showing the same principles of how much weight affects your 1/4 mile time. I will try to find the article after lunch its quite impressive.

LOL!!

I'm still lost. Does he think I had a Touring non-Sport and sold it to get a NISMO? He was addressing me, yet I had absolutely no clue what he was talking about.

Where did he get that information from? The same source who told him JDM models of cars sold here are 300-500 lbs. lighter?

Wow...where did this thread go

theDreamer · 10-13-2009, 12:08 PM

Where do you want it to go?
I am sure we could go down a new street this forum has not seen.

I'm just wondering why you brought another thread into here... This thread isnt about our 'dream' car being better than anyone elses. This thread has gotten its popcorn viewers because of ignorance...

TX_370 · 10-13-2009, 12:23 PM

Technik, that makes sense and actually coincides with Phelan's numbers. Thanks for that.

phelan · 10-13-2009, 12:24 PM

^ ooh, a logical argument. It's spelled exemplified though

When you mention the Spec C STI aluminum trunk though, bear in mind (and tell me if I'm wrong on this!) that the Z is already largely built out of aluminum. Without going carbon fiber a la CSL, there really isn't a lot of weight reduction to be had without aggressively setting up the car for racing.

Good man, Technik, welcome to the 370Z forum

Good call, I was typing too quickly to notice my typo

, fixed it though lmao-

I believe there's some, I'm not going to say "a couple hundred pounds," but enough to notice a difference. I agree sort of gutting the car, killing the daily status of the car, you wont get extreme amount of weight reduction.

Sorry, I didn't read over the whole post before starting a response, I'm at work at the moment, incognito posting is FTW.....haha not really though

Thank you for the welcome, I appreciate it!
