because you're not understanding. for clarification instead of thingking of the cars like a G35 sedan and a G35coupe think of them more like a

JC Cosmo(RX-8)

and an RX7(NEW RWD Coupe)

I'm just going by the article dude. I haven't heard anything about 2400lbs which would not only make it lighter than an FC body and even the current MX-5. That would be one tiny car.

Perhaps because readers know what a MX-5/Miata is more than a RX-8

You need to learn how to understand what you read.

They said they don't know the name of the car with a 16x It could be a RX7 or something else.

Sure the number is there in print.

Also the HP is way off.
