I wouldn't say that, I've driven a Q50 Red Sport and despite it weighing the same as a SUV, it was pretty fun to drive.
hey, I hit cmd-enter too fast. See the updated post.

I like the new Z, but come one with that front end! What were they thinking?
Nissan Z.webp
Here's what happened:
ECM Engine Cooling: we need X by Y opening on the bumper
Design Group & Marketing: We can't allow that.
Validation Eng: We fail tests with smaller opening
Exterior Trim: Bumper is sagging.
Trans Eng: I need more air to the trans cooler
* After 12 months of back n forth:
Chief Eng: Damn it. We're losing money. What do you need ECM.
ECM: 50" x 20"
Chief: Hey design can you work with that
Designer: *@$!# Here! You happy now!

True story.

The front look is odd to me, its headlight is the deal breaker.

Ahh. Dry weight. There you go. Add 200-250lbs to that to compare weight with Supra. GM did the same thing with the new C8. They published the dry weight and people tried comparing that to cars that listed the curb weight with fluids.

Yes sir. I did some sloppy calculation.

Dry Weight = 3,252lbs
19 gallon of gas = 114lbs
5 quarts of motor oil = 9.7lbs
Brake fluid = 1lbs
Windshield Washer cleaner = 8lbs
MT fluid = 6.2 lbs
Radiator fluid = 19 lbs

3410 lbs (rounding up)
