Nissan definitely got this part right, props to them:
"Addressing poundage (another significant complaint about the previous-gen 350Z), Nissan put the new car on a serious diet. Paying close attention to the little things, engineers dropped several hundred pounds off the curb weight compared to the outgoing 350Z. The svelte standard model with a 6-speed manual now tips the scales at just 3,232 pounds (the 2008 350Z Enthusiast Model was 3,575 pounds). "
With the lower weight and more horsepower, I think it will probably be able to outrun a Mustang GT....
