[QUOTE="Formula51, post: 9634419, member: 19833"] Yeah, but I see a lot of as tested weights up around 3,400lbs. I think Nissan is fibing a little on that figure. [url=http://www.insideline.com/nissan/370z/2009/comparison-test-2010-ford-mustang-gt-vs-2009-nissan-370z.html]2010 Ford Mustang vs. 2009 Nissan 370Z Comparison Test on Inside Line[/url] The car only makes a relatively wimpy 270ft-lbs. of torque also. The E46 is a good comparison, but I think still smaller than the Mustang and again you are talking about a V6 that only makes 260ft-lbs. of torque. The new M3 (which meets modern safety standards and has a V8, although a tiny one) weighs 3,700lbs and still only has to handle 300ft-lbs. of torque. I am not saying it isn't doable, just that it is going to be very hard to do it and keep it cheap. Light and cheap don't go together. As you see we are already talking about M3's for crying out loud!
