Yeah Nissan really needs to cut the weight down on the Z by a pretty significant amount. Theirs no reason they shouldn't be able to either.

True, but they also look at things like 0-60. If that's a smaller number than the last gen car, it's a win.

For the Mustang, I would totally accept lighter and less power...this next generation Mustang could easily be a bit more true sports car and a bit less muscle car. It's that new design that's been floating around that worries me a little, though. Can they still make it scream Mustang without the retro look? We shall see.

Also heard a next generation Challenger is in the works, and you guessed it...it will supposedly shed a lot of weight.

New lighter weight Challenger prototype concept.....

However, I doubt the gun will be on the production models.

I doubt they could get it to be that light.

It's that way with most concept models. They always tame them up before mass production.

The lightweight Challenger is to be replaced as a 'Cuda.
