[QUOTE="ChiSVT, post: 9635108, member: 28706"] Hmm, that doesn't sound right. My buddies 350Z doesn't even weigh 3400lbs and the 370Z is definitely smaller! It's a 2 seater that's smaller than even a C6. :shrug: As for the E46 and Supra, they both have handled well over 800 ft/lbs of torque. I don't feel the weight of the IRS necessarily go hand in hand with how much torque it can handle. Also, the E46 M3 and newer E9X M3s could weigh a lot less but they too share a platform for midsized luxury sedans.

I'm talking about M3s and Supras, but mind you these are already 9-17 year old cars! The technology isn't as cutting edge and expensive for a 2014-2015 model car. If a new platform is designed from the ground-up with weight limitations in mind it can most certainly be done. Checkout the Cadillac ATS built on the Alpha platform which is rumored to be shared with the next generation Camaro. [IMG]http://www.4get2.com/caddy.jpg[/IMG] I think we will see lighter as well as [U]smaller[/U] cars in the future. Which is okay by me, IMO, the new Camaro, Mustang and Challenger are a lot bigger than they need to be. [/QUOTE]
