He could have bought a 350z, but he didn't. So instead if telling him that he should trade it in or sell it to get a different car, why don't you help him out?

Everyone always underestimates the g sedans just cause they have 4 doors. You know not all coupes handle better than sedans, in fact there are a lot of performance based sedans out there that handle very well.

lol ...well the part about .. sedan vs coupe ...

the sedan is faster...

cause i raced my friends coupe which he has a 06 loaded..
and mine is 04 loaded.. both auto..

and idk if it was me but i took him about a car length.

and for the reduction .. if your going for speed.. - go turbo / supercharger lol

and +1 on whats the real point on stripping a luxury sedan..

but like others said..

strip trunk.
chng rims
chng seats.
take out all floor mats.
c.f trunk?
c.f hood
coupe mid .
straight pipe / test pipe
strip rear doors /
take out speakers ? lol


if worst comes to worst. buy a different car..

but my opinion is keep it clean and classy its a luxury sedan =D
make it
loww n sloww =D

Coupe midpipe bolts on, but you may have to bend a heat shield a little

350z midpipe needs either a 6 or 8 inch extension, I can't remember, but they're available to bolt in.

Also, you don't lose 30lb, only 25.

Sedan middy = 35lb
Coupe middy = 10lb

I weighed them

I bought my 04 sedan with a set of 17" kosei k1's. They are the same size and offset as stock 17's (17x7 +45mm offset). They weigh 14lbs, so that right there is a huge difference.

Kosei's are on the cheaper side, I would look into them if I were you.

You're arguing with the past.
