The FT, is being compared with a Cayman S? I know this isn't a HP comparison, but a Cayman was compared, and not the 370Z?

Bingo. Guess why I'm interested in this car

Lets just hope it drives as well as an s2000

The size is right so next thing they can do is make it a similar weight ~2800 lbs

Actually, it should be lighter. The S2K almost definitely has a lot of additonal chassis bracing because it's a convertable -- those are almost always heavier than their hard top counterparts.

Given that their dimensions are otherwise almost identical, I'd say we can expect the FT-86 will weigh between 2600 and 2700 lbs.

Holy crap! That picture almost makes the GTR look like a bus. That image really puts things into perspective. Cars these days are really bulky.

I guess its safe to say that the FT is about the same size as a S2000 or 370Z, which is great considering they are both just about the perfect size. The Genesis is a boat in comparison.

I included the Civic and the Mini because I own each and an FT will hopefully replace the Civic in the future.

I'd say that's wishful thinking. With the ever increasing amount of government mandated safety regulations, I can't see any new car coming to market that will seat 4 people weigh anything less than 2800 lbs.

I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.
