Dynamat Extreme/Rammat runs about 1/2 pound per square foot and Luxury Liner Pro is closer to 1 pound per square foot.

If you are into audio upgrades it's easy to add 20-40 pounds of speakers/subs and amps too.

At least with sound deadener the weight is low on the chassis.

20-40 lbs is nothing! I'm carrying around at least that much extra everyday around my waist.

Well my plan is to lose the weight from my waist to compensate for the added gear.

Having just mounted up a new set of tyres, I can say that there was definitely a lot of noise generated by the stock Potenzas that's not present with my new rubber.

I think a lot of the "cabin noise" controversy arrises from the intent of the driver. If you want an aggressive sports car that reinforces the sports car experience with every turn of the wheel the stock Z is your ticket. If you want a car that expresses it's aggressive side "on demand" a little sound deadener goes a long way.

I think the beef is that it's not "good noise", ie, engine or exhaust. It actually downs out many decent exhaust setups.

Never bothered me, coming from a roadster, but leaving the car, I don't miss the white noise.
