That's only a couple pounds heavier than my Miata...

It would be one of those cars that I'd love to test drive. But for $45k, quite a bit out of my price range.

I have an '01 Miata SE that weighs more at 2387 lbs. This car would be fun to spend an hour with.

no widebody or 20b :(

This had to have been one of the ST cars. I wonder how they got it so light.

$45k?! Not sure about that...even though it's fully loaded. lol

I'd love to feel how an RX-8 drives with 500 less lbs than stock.

You could remove a few pounds by getting rid off the passenger/rear seats, getting a nice super lightweight racing seat for yourself and carrying absolutely nothing in the trunk. Not a 500 pound saving, but it would be a 'little' lighter :)

^ The rear seats weigh about nothing. The leather GT driver's seat does weigh a lot though.

Since the car doesn't have a sunroof, it wouldn't have come with leather seats.

Shit if I had the money I'd buy it. Wouldn't even have to think about it.

Give me a 20b one!

Should be my new weekend driver.
