Why is our car so heavy?

I think what a lot of people have mentioned about cost, and I would like to add inceasingly strict safety and emmissions regulations as well as value added comfort features

I think what a lot of people have mentioned about cost, and I would like to add inceasingly strict safety and emmissions regulations as well as value added comfort features and technology, are the main reason contemporary vehicles are getting heavy in general. Take these factors away and this would not be the case. A great example is the Fairlady Z Nismo RC in which cost, emission and certainly comfort and convinience do not play a large role.
