true, but it has 4 wheel drive and just a little more power. so the fact that it is lighter at all is a testament to a job well done by stugart.

It is probably less time consuming to just boost and upgrade the brakes and suspension.

if you guys worry about the damn weight so much, you should have gotten a honda s2k instead or get yourself an evo or sti for performance. infiniti = luxury like it or not...very different.

no one is complaining about the fact that it is heavy. the point is to figure out what components can be omitted without seriously compromising whatever luxury it had.
