Ok. The weight is indeed an issue. And probably too much to account for the
increased horsepower and torque. though I'd like to see it run in a pair of
capable hands.
However, I started to think about this another way...
The base 350Z is 3188 lbs, touring is 3240 lbs. The Base G35 Coupe is 3416
and is similar to the Touring 350Z. I wouldn't think the 350Z would perform
so much differently than the coupe that it would be in a different class.
And I certainly don't see the 350Z running below BS.
I'll be very curious to see where the board puts it...
