hmm the VK45de's dry wieght is 236kg..an LS1 fully dressed is 220kg..and the 1UZ is 168kg fully dressed.
okay fail on that front unless want to use GM or toyota V8.

the later versions are barely touching what nissan is getting from the VQ35 though. you could put it in an actual nissan sportscar though like an S15
correct me if i'm wrong but the upcoming 370Z has actually lost weight hasn't it?
Andreas Preuninger, Manager of Porsche High Performance Cars: "Grandmas can use paddles. They aren't challenging."
IIRC your correct, but from its current weight that shouldn't be difficult.

i wonder what they dropped, probably the thirteenth subwoofer set into the partition behind the seats.

Nothing wrong with Japanese V8's, a supercharged Lexus V8 goes fking hard!
Shut up Sigma boy!
It'd actually be pretty awesome if you(or I) shoehorned a V8 (no matter the nationality) into our cars.
But because my car is American I get moar better V8s.

I dont if I'll make home tonight

P.s. the new Evo X weighs 3500lbs. The old 3000GT(GTO) VR-4 was like 3,800, Last gen (make IV) turbo Supra weighed 3486lbs. last gen skyline was 3800 same as this new one.
So in comparison the 350Z isn't *that* heavy for a JP sports car.
On the other hand, the Mazda RX-8 is only 3k. Last gen RX-7 was 2826lb! and 50/50 weight ratio.

they only made one good one
i guess as said before, those cars would fare quite badly in todays crash tests (not that i care, that's what rollcages are for)
still.. it's not like the S2000 gives up much in terms of practicality to the 350Z (and the RX-8 exceeds it) so yeah...
Andreas Preuninger, Manager of Porsche High Performance Cars: "Grandmas can use paddles. They aren't challenging."
The 370Z is going smaller and lighter. Also the G is much more heavier than any 3er.
I once drove a '92 Polo GT which weighted under 800kg and had power-nothing. So much fun gets you back into driving. Weight kills everything.
