weight differences between packages?
Hey guys I'm about a week away from buying an RX-8, and currently I have two offers that I'm entertaining. One is a sport package '05 complete with Mazdaspeed spoiler and the other is a grand touring '05 with a navi, both around the same price. I was wondering though how much weight the grand touring package adds, with the addition of the sunroof, seats, and navigation system, over the sport package. Anybody know these figures?

You can add about 100lbs to the weight ^ above for the GT

The GT is about .2 seconds slower in the 0-60 runs. I'd still say get the GT anyway, its nice to have a good interior.

Go with the GT, and get the Nav too. I am still kicking myself 1.5 yrs later for not getting the Nav.
