> [@BigRon](#): > > in response to the comment not really sure what your point is. It’s not like the Z cars have grown in dimension much over time. A modern day miata is more than ~5 inches shorter than the 72 240z. So even the newest model out, is a mostly smaller car. Almost all cars grow somewhat larger over time. datsun s30 chassis length is 162.8 in (4,135 mm) nissan 370z chassis length is 167.1 in Less than a 5 inch change in length over time. I don’t even know why we are arguing anymore to be honest. Because the Z is too heavy? When the cars that it mainly competes with are around the same weight? It is less than 100 pounds heavier than the vette. Performance wise, even with it’s weight, it would probably blow the MX-5 out of the water, so it is not even a fair comparison. ---

FYI… let me help out here, I sold this car brand new… It now has racing seats with harnesses in it, has had several sets of brakes, more than 1set of tires and he blew the motor up while at Watkins Glen because he mis-shifted on the back straight at a Trackmasters advanced performance driving class. He also hit the wall on the passenger side because the car spun when all of his oil blew out of the 4 inch hole in the block. I didn’t read the thread but I’d bet that info was left out when he posted that on the corvette forum. the guy screamed and yelled (swearing) at the GM people and our service people in the middle of our dealership. Track driving = NOT covered under any circumstance People who scream profanities = NOT covered under any circumstance ---

thread fail, let me contribute; > [@BigRon](#): > > Your right they are not even close… > > 240z > Length 162.8 in (4,135 mm) > Width 64.1 in (1,628 mm) > Curb weight 2,355 lb (1,068 kg) > > 2006 Miata > Length 157.3 in (4,000 mm) > Width 67.7 in (1,720 mm) > Curb weight 1,095 kg (2,410 lb) To correctly compare a Miata to a Nissan built car you can not look @ the Z but the 1600 Roadster. Length: 155.7 inches Width: 58.9 inches Height: 51.6 inches Curb weight: 1,984 pounds The Z car of that era was ~18.7% heavier than that roadster. The 350Z is ~25% heavier than the Miata. So yes the Z cars have respectively gotten bloated. Light Japanese roadsters gained ~21% more weight, where as Z cars have gained 35% more weight in 38 ish years. Truely you would have to compare a SX car to the Miata as they carried on the spirit of the S chasis. ---
