I wonder if that is really apples to apples, if they are comparing a base 350 the a 370 that has some options weighing it down? The article says it has after market oil and dif coolers and the sport pack which includes bigger rubber and brakes. If I can get all that plus a bigger engine and still shave off 95lbs then I'm just about sold. If only they could have kept the back seat for my 3 year old.
Edited to add: I am guessing above that edmunds weighed the 370 tester to get 95 but Nissan told them 225.
