I think as far as a simple drag race it would be close - if it comes in around that weight... as far as a run through the twisties, if they can dial in the suspension as well as nissan did on the GT-R it seems like it'll be a nice car. I still wouldn't buy one for the main fact that it's a nissan - I don't discriminate against other manufacturers, but their quality is sub-par as far as fit/finish goes, it'll be interesting to see if this intensifies with the lower weight. More importantly, I like driving something that is somewhat exclusive. I can't even get the mail without seeing almost every color drive by...
Regardless, it's good to see a company lower the weight of their cars instead of steadily gain weight every generation.
