Is that with stock battery? If so, you can save about 17lbs if you throw in a Miata battery.

Ditching the 2nd spare tire - moderate exercise and a healthy diet.

At mid-ohio with almost a full tank of gas + driver + helmet. My car was 3197. I weigh over 260 so the car alone without me is less than 2940.

My car is sport package + Appearance with SSR wheels (17lbs each) with 245 mm width Falkens on each rim (probably heavier than stock 225 tires).

Cool, I always wondered what mine weighs. Mine is also a sport with appearance and rotary accents with no other options. Stock wheels and 225 bridgestones so I bet the SSR's and skinnier 225 tires on mine cancel out. I only weigh 145 pounds or so since i'm skinny. I bet with 1/4 tank of gas and me in the car it'd weigh right at 3000
