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.

1999 S15 Spec R weight: 2734lbs
FRS weight: 2,776 to 2,817 lbs
GT86 weight: 2,776 to 2,817 lbs
BRZ weight: 2,776 to 2,817 lbs
Ecoboost Mustang weight: 3,532 to 3,642 lbs
Nice try, though...
I'm 6'3" and have sat in several FRS/BRZ/GT86's and all of the Miata gens. The FRS/BRZ/GT86 has way more room in them compared to the Miata's. Not even close to a valid comparison...
Also, I'm sure the base pony can afford to feel less like a shit box, because of the almost 756lb weight difference.
