weight
I was just wondering how huch this rx8 will weigh. I cant seem to find it anywhere. It would be nice if it were just as light as the 7 or lighter.

i THINK 1250ish kilo's was the last i heard. dunno if that changed or what though, this was before the final makeover. so that is around 2750 lbs which is a little lighter than the last gen 7 that was in the US.
im not exactly sure so don't quote me

I have also been hearing and reading 2750 lbs. If Road and Track says 2950 and they are correct I wonder were the 200 extra lbs came from 
If Road and Track is wrong it would not be the first time. I sometimes wonder about the accuracy of publications like Road and Track and Motor Trend.

Magazines are usually wrong, i remember a R&T mag that had a 1993 Rx-7 R1 running 14.1 stock and 0-60 in 5.9sec.....after reading that bullshit i quit relying on mags for information.

I think the common numbers are 2950 GS, 3030 GT. Still light, hundreds of pounds lighter than competitive RWD's like 350Z, G35 coupes, Mustangs, 3 series coupes...
I think the last 7 was about 2850 if I remember correctly, about the same as a S2000.
...still miss my 2300 pound miata sometimes.
