Nope, it's about the same. The safety standards added about 100-lbs, but Nissan reduced the weight in other places.
It does have more horsepower, but in terms of torque, the GT has a clear edge.
They're evenly matched in times because the GT has more torque and larger displacement, whereas the Z will have less weight. I'll concede that the Z is probably more fun to drive due to the handling and aerodynamics.
Don't get me wrong, Nissan is by far my favorite Jap car company, and a Z would be a great fun car. However, its practical use is limited, and it looks like I can get the same speed from the Mustang I already own.
