First, please use full words and sentences, makes your arguments a bit better and easier for others.
Second, you come in here stating "facts" that Nissan Japan cars using lighter material but with no links to real facts. Provide some, current, data on this and we will believe it but until then..well you see what happens.

Dude, do u not read your enthusiast mags? Some of this stuff is just known facts. That come across often in many atricles. Especially if u r reading import tuner, project car etc.
I don't have an article off hand but I guarantee u research it online n u will find it. They are allowed to use more carbon fiber in production cars than we are. We have the toughest safety standards for cars in the whole world. And this is why our cars keep gaining weight.
Do I have to find a link for that too for you? Titanium is expensive metal. Nissan would have to price the Z more than americans are willing to pay so its not used here. Its not used in abundance in japan either but it is widely used in japans aftermarket. Something we can't say here either. We just don't hardly produce any titanium aftermarket parts.
They are more serious over there about tuning. Just keepin it real. Americans can't fathom a 70k Z. But in europe and asia. That's what they pay. So they get more.

What do AMERICAN magazines have anything to do about JDM curb weight?? Ever notice that all the cars in those mags are already modified, and most have some weight shaved off by a 3rd party, most of the time the owner? It's not like the manufacturer went "OMG IMPORT TUNER MUST MAKE SUPAR SPESHUL CARBON FIBER BODEE"

"More serious over there about tuning". Uh...last I checked we were pretty damn serious ourselves. Also last I checked (this is a friend's opinion), but the economy has also tanked Japan's ability/interest in tuning.

I'm just "keepin' it real" man. Whatever the **** that means.

This thread is so off topic I think it is time for some

On a side note Chief Roka please do more research before you post such ludicrous statements.
