For the 2005 redesign the car actually got longer, wider, taller, and, well... heavier. The 2014 MY will be a good bit smaller in dimensions and the weight will be down as well. Shouldn't be hard at all considering my '03 GT weighed around 3250 lbs, and that's with an iron block 4.6L.
you 'spose they will be moving to an aluminum block/heads?

Did you not do any research before buying your 370Z?

Just curious, as I researched everything within $20K either way of the Z06 before I bought. I would have HATED! to buy only to discover that the car I chose was constantly taking the back seat to another similarly priced car in every way, etc.

Hence the research, and hence ultimately why I am here. I considered a GTM TT 370 at one point.

I'm with you, man. I know WAY too much about just about every car on the road.
