According to Dan, the curb weight will be "a tick more than the current car most likely."

For reference, the 370Z's curb weight:

Nissan
MT 370Z = 3,333 lbs
AT 370Z = 3,362 lbs
MT Sport 370Z = 3,386 lbs
AT Sport Touring 370Z = 3,439 lbs
MT 50th Anniversary 370Z = 3,386
AT 50th Anniversary 370Z = 3,413
MT NISMO 370Z = 3,457
AT NISMO 370Z = 3,486

It'll be around 3400lbs. It was always going to be. It's a 370z with modified suspension and an engine swap. 370z was around 3300+.

At 3400lbs with 400hp the power to weight is great for the price.

I can't find anything on the weight of the VQ37...

Lower weight, greater mechanical efficiency, more engaging drive
The core structure of the 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo engine weighs 429.5 pounds (194.8 kg) – 39.1 pounds (14.1 kg) less than the engine it replaces. The new turbocharger and advanced intercooler (or CAC) system componentry adds just an extra 56.9 pounds (25.8 kg), for 486.3 pounds (220.6 kg) total.

What is the distribution of the weight of the car? 53/47 estimate?

Isn't the MKV Supra around 3400? I can't believe the new Z would weigh more than the Supra with it's auto trans. The Z does have an extra turbo, but that can't be 100 lbs extra. I'm sure no one will buy the Z if it weighs more than the Supra ? <?

It'll be at least 3500 for even the base Sport, IMO, kind of unfort. Chassis stiffened, all that turbo intercooler plumbing. I'd be really surprised if the Performance gets under 3400 lbs.

Yeah, I think 3,500 is gonna be the number.

"Between the two turbos, two intercoolers, a larger radiator, and the new transmission, the new powertrain alone added about 200 lb to the Z, according to Tamura. But the new Z was tuned to deliver a lightweight feeling. Nissan hasn't released the production car's weight yet, but it will be more than the outgoing 370Z’s 3,457-lb curb weight with the manual transmission."

Depending on transmission choice and packing I'm going to say 3.4k-3.5k range.
