Z price fluctuates from 33k-43k, but even at the cheapest, that's 8 grand more. Curb weight sits around 3350 lbs, which is a 600lb difference. I was under the impression that the Touring model was a lot more, but I guess not! The Roadsters though, get upwards of 3500 lbs, an 800lb difference.

i think for what nissan intended, the z is great its pretty far from offering the driving experience of the frs. iirc, its target was to bridge the gap from these small sports cars and the more gt or high speed cars like the corvette. i think the most telling thing about the car is that its not even really that trackable considering the brake and oil issues.
Agreed. It's not a bad car, it's just got a different philosophical direction. Plus, the 18/25MPG isn't exactly attractive when I'm getting 24/33mpg in my FR-S.
