i don't see how a new-age miata can be at 2100 lb

a lotus elise is at around 2000 and it is glued together using carbon fiber panels on an aluminum skeleton/bucket

for a modern miata to hit 2100 then it too has to either use exotic materials ($$$) or go back to the Colin Chapman method of building cars
