but there is no way that a stock Z32 hood could be said to weigh a "ton" by any standards. In most (if not all cases) the carbon fiber hoods produced for the Z (even the "stock shaped" ones)weigh a bit more than the actual stock hood. And yes the stock hoods are aluminum.
I see you have a TTZ33. I've never gotten to ride in a 350Z with forced induction. How do you like it? How does it stack up to a TTZ32 (assuming the turbos etc are comparable)?
