Silvia = sub 2999lbs
If Toyota/ Subaru can make the FR-S/ GT86/ BRZ sub 3000lbs there can be no excuses.
Lets just hope the GR86 does indeed get the 2.4T option and weighs less than 3000lbs...

The BRFRSGT86Z is a hard top Miata that weights 2,900lbs. A 1991 Miata was only 2,100lbs.
A Turbo S15 came in just a few pounds under 3,000. I think they are 2,875.
A '93 Fox Body ustang was 2,900lbs and some basic bolt ons drop it to 2,500lbs.
Reality is that is all 25 years ago now. Safety, Content, Comfort etc have all changed in expectation.
The BRFRSGT86Z is a slow seller because it's size and weight are its only positive attributes. Its more expensive then a base Pony, has less forward thrust, less space and feels like a shit box in comparison.
