Holy crap they moved RTA to the west coast only! Thats a bunch of poop! Sell outs for sure. I was hoping to go back to Sebring again next year! Im burning my RTA shirt!

Honestly though regardless of the tC2's power. Its not any quicker really than the tC1 from reviews.

Anyone wanna race the two against each other? Closed course of course!

^part of that is the increased weight, which automakers seem to think is a good thing nowadays, lol

has any new car actually been made lighter then its previous generation?

You have to blame a bit of that on the new Government safety regulations as well. Everything is getting bigger.

I think the 370z was made lighter than the 350z. Don't remember off top of my head, but I think it's lighter, could be wrong without looking up the specs.

^really sucks, all this strugle to squeeze power while retaining good MPG, JUST LOWER THE WEIGHT DAMMIT! lol

then theres the use of expensive light materials which jack the prices up sky high, just dont make them like they use to, lol

Wasn't aware of this one. So it's done up just like my old 350z was? Pressing the brakes at the same time as the gas would close the TB. So, no Left foot braking, and No Brake boosting...bummer..
