And I'm sure I'm missing a good number. In fact, I would say the truly lightweight cars are sub-3000 lbs. That would cut about half the cars off the list above.
I agree with that. I've always thought 3000lbs or less is what makes a lightweight- or.lighter weight. More like 27-2800lbs is where I like to be. Another reason why I'm a fan of the older cars like the rx7, nsx, integra r, 240sx, and pretty much all Japanese performance cars that came out of the 90's. This is one of the underlying factors why the FRS won me. With everything porking up in size these days, it's a breath of fresh air that the FRS came back to lightweight.
