You're nuts. The Z weighs 3100-3200lb depending on options.

You're both reading the GVWR, the maximum loaded weight of the vehicle allowed, with passengers and luggage

I'm 6-4, 235-lbs and have no problems fitting inside the car. As for the top speed of the 350Z being on par with or whatever...with the S2000, does that really mean anything in the real world? How many owners even get to that speed more than once or twice in the car's lifetime, if at all? I highly doubt the Z will start "pulling away" from the S2K at 120mph, but my principal point is....when has that sort of acceleration comparo meant anything other than fodder for magazine racing or comparo articles for pleasurable reading?
I didn't buy my S2000 because its top speed is 150mph.
