I don't know if that post was intended for me,but eiter way, I OWNED a 2006 350Z Base Coupe 6MT. I weighed it two different times. Once was 3,240lbs once was 3,260 lbs. W/out me, and different fuel loads. The scale rounds to the nearest 10. My friend has an '07 Z identical to mine except color. It weighed 3,200 and some change as well. And I've seen other Z's w/ similar results. I know what the dealership broshure says. I know what car review publications say about their weights. THEY'RE WRONG. A low-option 350Z Coupe weighs between 3,200-3,300 lbs. End of Story......

dude, you owned a 2006, this guy owns a 2007, there is a difference there. I think it is the Engine right? a couple of mods?

are you joking me? the Z is garbage, I have still yet to see one break out of the 14s at the track. The best time I have seen was a 14.1 on a hundered shot. [&:]
EDIT: You bastage..you duped me..I didn't catch it until I saw your other post.... Well Played Sir!!!!
I have no idea what your talking about.
EDIT: oh i think it get it, you were gonna do the same thing. you should have done it anyway, this is definetly one of the most absurd statements in a while - apparently 350zs are now capable of taking out LS1s, WATCH OUT TERMINATORS, YOU ARE NEXT!
Nope..I thought you weren't completely clueless.... but maybe I was wrong...
What I was going to post was...
This coming from a guy who drives a car lucky to see mid 14s.... (it's a vert so I am being generous)...You know a stock 350Z would smoke a stock 5.0 right?
I've witnessed 350zs in the 13s stock... and I post frequently on a 350Z forum..these guys are not BSing...
Hand me equal rubber and the same weather conditions and it's still not close for an LS1 (considering I would be into the 12s)... however look at my sig... according to slips some 350zs are faster than I am stock for stock. Until I can prove otherwise it's a fact. I can accept it.
LOL who said my car was stock? I would smoke a stock 350 but what does that have to do with anything nthat we were talking about? If you want to compare my car to a 350z then you are fighting a losing battle, any way you look at it. (would be glad to go into detail if you wish )
I guess it depends on what you consider "good rubber" If you were on slicks, then yeah i could see you in the 12s. but other than that.. it's gonna be low 13s (assuming the rest of your car is stock)
btw time slips don't prove anything I could take my friends time slip, scan it and say it's mine. And i could really be driving a 1980 lincon with broken a/c and you coud be a 15 year old without acar. IT'S THE INTERNET
a 350z is a mid to low 14 second car with a good driver and stock rubber.
The guy with the Z running 13.2 said he power shifted the hell out of it. I know guys running 13.4 in a stock 2005+ mustang gt are also power shifting. Most people don't power shift, i know I don't. Do the mags powershift? I don't know, but some probably do.

I am sure any car with a good driver is capable of running times lower than advertised by the mags and manufacturers, but at the end of the day, all that matters to me is what times MY car is running. You can't assume because 1 stock car like yours ran 13.2 that they are ALL capable of running that time, especially when the majority are not. That goes for any car, Dodge/Ford/Nissan/Chevy, whatever.

The weight difference between the the '06 and '07 350Z is negligible at most. Hell, even the '03-'05 Z's weigh practically the same as long they are the same trim level. But yeah, the '07 does have a revised engine. But as far as weight goes, they are practically the same for respective trim levels. And in my post, I stated my friend has an '07 identical to my '06. When we weighed, his car was w/in 30 lbs of mine. Only difference in our cars is color and model year.
I got it. I know mags are wrong for the most part. Thanks for elaborating. The only thing is, because he did not tell us what model he had, like, if he had a touring or an enthusiast, the weight would go up.
Moose: One thing I have learner in my short time of being here, no matter the car, it takes a certain amount of power, to obtain certain levels of speed. I do not see how a car with a small amount of torque can acheive that even with power shifting. Let alone completely stock, on street tires. I only say because when I posted about a 13.2 similar time, with a few bolt-ons, it was very doubtful. But, that is not the case here....

The reason why the Z wieghs "so much" is because they designed the platform it's on to be compatible w/ other cars. The G35, Murano, etc are based on the same platform. It was never designed to be strictly put in a sportscar, and nothing else. It was designed to be used for different purposes for cost effectiveness. And I still don't understand why people think Z's are so heavy. A Base or Enthusiast model Z Coupe only weighs 3,200~ lbs. Not, 3,400, not 3,500; 3,200 give or take some. The ONLY Z's that weigh 3,400 lbs are Roadsters and fully loaded up auto Coupes. IMO, I think Nissan did that w/ the Z platform because they didn't think it'd be as successful as it is, and they were afraid to lose money. Hopefully, the next gen Z will get it's own specific chassis and a lighter weight. It'd be nice to see a 2,900-3,000lb Z w/ the new VR37HR andaround 350hp. Only time will tell, though.[&:]
Because it's 19 inches shorter in length, 2.5 inches shorter in height and 2.5 inches shorter in width than a s197. Not to mention it has a smaller engine (lighter) and no back seat. Judging by the curb weight of each it would seem heavy in comparison. Sorry, but I will believe nissan before you, no offense.

I'd like to know how comparing your 5.0 to a Z is a loosing battle any way I look at it? By the way new Z's are 13 second cars. In your other posts you say that the Z is "garbage" (comming from a person who's car wasn't even made in the last decade, and doesn't really have any real collector value) I'd be willing to bet you've never even driven one. While older Zs may not have the straight line acceloration of a mustang, or some V8 sports cars, the handling in them are vastly superior to them, and would smoke most any of them in any race that involved turning. I'm not hating on anybodys ride since I like pretty much any fast ride, but it really ticks me off when people say stupid **** about other peoples cars. You can be un impressed with them if they are not to your likeing, but to say they are garbage is just plain ignorant.

Try another scale to verify. My Grandfather used scales on his farm to weigh trucks in and out, and we were constantly having to re-calibrate them. All it took was one person to stop to fast or take off to hard to throw them off. You can imagine how much abuse a public scale endures. Alot of scales vary, and I would bet that is why you have a different weight than the dealer brochures, etc.

For those unsure of what your car weighs just go to nissans site and look it up. 3,313 lbs for a base 2007 350z with manual transmission. I don't care what your buddies weighed, the scale was off. Nissan knows how much their car weighs people and they don't deviated by 100lbs between cars.
The grand trim auto weighs 3,389 lbs for comparison. They don't just make this sh!t up!
