Mazda decided to force the sunroof on anyone who wanted the Touring or GT packages here; such is not the case for Canada...

I recalculated the effect of Cg change with a 35 lb increase from a sunroof. Cg goes from 455 mm to 465 mm which is a 2.2% increase. In addition there is now an additional 35 lbs of mass acting on the now 465mm moment arm. The increased roll moment, which is actually more important, is 3.4% larger. This is significant.

FD RX-7 Weights
Look what I found:
Ok, for comparison purposes only:
RX-7 Base Model is equivalent to RX-8 Base Model (Duh)
RX-7 R2 is equivalent to RX-8 Sports Package
RX-7 Touring Model is equivalent to RX-8 GT Package and included the same options as the R2 plus sunroof, BOSE audio, etc.
So the difference from Base 5-speed to top-of-the-line Touring 5-speed is 73 lbs.
Model Year Summary : In 1995...the last year America would see the RX-7 being sold off Mazda's car-lots....very few changes were made. However the suspension was further softened to improve the acclaimed harsh ride by installing softer bushings in the suspension. Mazda sold the 1995 model through 1996 until they decided to discontinue exporting RX-7's to America. In April of 96, Mazda formally announced they would stop importing RX-7s to North America, however the RX-7 continued to be sold elsewhere around the world.
