Anyhoo, if they can cut the weight on the Z that'd be great. And if they can't, at least move some of it back in the chassis. I wouldn't mind if they made the hood a little longer and got the engine further back behind the front axle like on the S2000.

Yeah, i was thinking that too. More lithe hood, re-extend the wheelbase to redistribute some of that weight.

See this is why im a big proponent of a smaller displacement engine. Alot of the issues is the weight of the VQ

Well at least we know 129lbs was taken off the Q.
