weight differences between packages?

Hey guys I'm about a week away from buying an RX-8, and currently I have two offers that I'm entertaining. One is a sport package '05 complete with Mazdaspeed spoiler and the other is a grand touring '05 with a navi, both around the same price. I was wondering though how much weight the grand touring package adds, with the addition of the sunroof, seats, and navigation system, over the sport package. Anybody know these figures?

I would definately pick up the Grand Touring pack if it is around the same price.

You can add about 100lbs to the weight ^ above for the GT

The GT is about .2 seconds slower in the 0-60 runs. I'd still say get the GT anyway, its nice to have a good interior.

Go with the GT, and get the Nav too. I am still kicking myself 1.5 yrs later for not getting the Nav.
