Is the 370Z a very light car?

there is alot of weight to be shed on the 370z by spending money on lighter equipment to replace the OEM stuff. replacing the body panels with CF will shave quite a bit of weight as will taking out the spare and tools, along with a titanium exhaust system. but that stuff costs quite alot to do. sure the weight savings would be awsome. and with a 10k budget you could get down to s2000k weight with a full interior.

no s2000 that stay's NA will ever pose a problem to a 370z in a straight line if the drivers are competent. here's the thing though s2k's make great track cars because they weigh nothing when stripped out and spec'd up.

if you want the best FR track car thats available to the majority get an FD rx7.

just enjoy the 370z and upgrade it when it's feasible. plus if you keep the spare you get less noise in the cabin as well as added traction in the rain. then again there is always AAA.
