bronzee Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Google suggests 1440 kg, however id like around 1300kg without having to buy lightness. Starting weight of the first production DE 350's was 1465kgs (depending if it was a Jap spec or UK etc);. I still have my brochure from 10 years ago when I got my 350. the reason its so heavy is the subframes and the materials used are mostly steal, apart from the aluminium bonnet (which people replace for carbon :S The stock aluminum bonnet is extremely light and is generally lighter than a carbon fibre bonnet. And at least stock bonnets don't crack. Few of our 350 race cars over here changed there's over, then dumped it back for the stock aluminum. One of the issues with the lexan window in the rear window over here once again taking weight out over the rear wheels, makes it light. Usually end up having to put a bigger wing on the boot to keep the thing planted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
