Why is our car so heavy?

and how do you know that? curb weight is defined as all fluids at their normal levels and a full tank of gas.

And no MFR in their right mind would list their car 300 lbs heavier than it is.

If you really think an Evo X weighs the same as a 370z you have lost your mind.

Mitsu's weights are based on a full tank, nissan's are not. The Z probably has about 120lbs under an equivalently equipped GSR, and 200 under a loaded MR.

In track form (trunk cleared, no rear seats, etc,) the Mitsu is comparable, but the weight distribution is pretty eh.

I'm talking cleared trunk/seats, etc, and I'm really only concerned with independent weightings. I've seen the Z tested as high as 3425, and I know it doesn't weigh that much....
