I think they have to get it below 3000 lbs., if nothing more than simply psychological effect. The RX-8 is light, and in this day of safety and weight, anything less than 3000 lbs is light. That is their goal.

I don't know, 2900 may be quite possible...
Yes, but as another posting indicated, 3000+ lbs could be the fully loaded model. Typically sunroofs add 50lbs, and power seats and subwoofer could equate to another 50lbs.
The 1300kg curb weight listed in a UK brochure would also indicate a potential sub 3000lbs weight - especially since the sunroof and power seat are listed as extras.
Personally, I'd like to see 2900lbs. Even with that, there would be room to further knock off some weight when a stainless header comes out (really, who's not going to get one? :D ) and when the run-flats are finally ditched for more supple, sticker, and lighter rubber.
