Let's talk about weight

[H2O_Doc]

Not to derail the thread, however, if your shortbread cookies are spreading too much you're probably over creaming your butter.

Is “over-creaming your butter” a euphemism I should know? Is there a video on the dark web?

Let's just let this derailment "slide....."

1,475kg = 3,252lbs?

 

[supraboi]

Sounds to good to be true.

3,252 is what was said in the link below and also the weight listed for the Z in Project Cars 3. No idea where that figure originally came from. The 370Z curb weight is 3,232 (later models seem to be 3,333) so I guess it's possible that the New Z will have a dry weight of 3,252.

Curb weight > dry weight.
Be sure we compare on the same definition here.

My wife can read Japanese. She said those 2 characters are "car weight". I was hoping there's be more clarity in the translation.

車 = car
重 = weight

These two characters are kanji (Chinese characters used in Japanese).
Your wife was correct.

Found this Japanese site. It seems that when Japanese says "車重" (short for 車両重量), they mean curb weight.

Well if true that would be excellent news, I was thinking it was likely coming in at 3400+ lbs.

 

[bboypuertoroc]

And my guess of within 40lbs of the 370Z would be correct if true.

DAMN I'M GOOD.

I mean, it's one under the skin, anyway, right? ?

But let's not get too excited, it's still no BRZ or even Cayman on the scales...?

Lol and the Z is not made within price budgets of either

 

[Metal]

If it is 3252 lbs curb, then that makes it lighter than the supra. I can't wait until the car gets into the hands of reviewers, I think nissan really has checked all the boxes to make this the perfect re-entry into the sports car market

I have a feeling they are just rehashing what Houston had posted
