Weight Reduction (Battery)

After I drove the Cayman I find that it has a perfect weight balanced. Feel like a F430! My 370Z is way far behind the Cayman. Weight Distribution is a major different between the two, Cayman has it engine in the middle and 370Z has it in the front. In the corner the Cayman was turning as if it is running on a rail. Time to make more change on my 370Z. Reduce weight will help a bit.

Useful Index:

Equations for Weight Conversion:
  • Curb Weight (metric) = EU1 Weight - 68kg for driver - 7 kg for cargo + (0.1 X Fuel Capacity in liter X 0.76)
  • EU Weight (metric) = Curb Weight + 68 kg for driver + 7 kg for cargo - (0.1 X Fuel Capacity in liter X 0.76)
  • 1 KG = 2.2 pounds
    • 1 US Gallon = 3.8 liters
    • Weight of 1 US Gallon of Gasoline = 6.35 pounds (2.87 kg)
    • Weight of 1 liter of Gasoline = 1.67 pounds (0.76 kg)

  1. So i will tell you a little about my personal fat burning experience. Nobody has learned what exactly it seems like unless she needs to move through this on his own. Thus I tried various slimming pills. Then I will say that not anything did good to me the way the very last ones did. It is possible to see more regarding that right here does phentermine work at this website
