I think the real question is how does it feel when the first tire lets loose? Since the Z32 that’s been the Achilles heel of the Z as a sports car.

Anyone who was hoping for less than that was fooling themselves knowing what chassis and engine this thing inherited.

Anybody thinking they were all of a sudden going to revert back to a sub 3,000 pounds regardless of engine and platform used were very deluded.

If I could guess everything to within 2% I would be very rich!

When I first saw it's drifting video it was obvious that the car is heavy, nowhere near 1400kg as initially was stated.
Need new Silvia! |

The very best informed case scenario was similar weight to 370Z, or more realistically just slightly heavier. As it stands it isn’t great but also not terrible either. A bit heavier than the Supra and 370Z, but not outrageously so, and still much lighter than a Mustang. For its main mission, being a powerful Grand Tourer (GT), which is what all Zs have been since the 80s, it is fine. People still rave and wax lyrical about the 1990s Z32 300ZX TT with 300HP but they forget it weighed 1552kg (3422lb) in USDM spec. Compare that to this new 400HP Z in 2022 with all the modern safety kit weighing it down at 1581kg (3485lbs) and it seems reasonable and in line with Z heritage. Quote:
