We were looking at buying a 350Z to replace the wifes unreliable Audi TT but are now possibly going to wait for the new 370Z.

But can you believe that according to Autocar the thing is estimated to weigh 1600KG!!!! I mean - what a tub of lard! My 67 Camaro only weighed 1400KG and was twice the size.

I am totally shocked!

We should all applaude TVRs lightweight - no bks strategy

I had a 350Z for 3 years as my daily driver it and it was a great car. Very sad to see it go but a new arrival meant I needed more than 2 seats. It did however mean I was able to convince the mrs that I needed a Tuscan as a weekend car as well biggrin

I would agree that the weight meant it needed an extra 50 - 60 nhp IMHO. Nevertheless it was great to drive. If you do buy one I'd recommend changing the air filter for a JWT pop charger. Not sure if it improves performance but it certainly sounds more throaty and will allow the engine to breathe better
