We're talking about an entry level car in the toyobaru, costing approximately 21 large. Newsflash: it's going to have heavy, standardized parts on it from the existing Toyo or Subaru parts bins to keep costs down. There is no getting around that.

I know Honda did everything it's power to keep the weight down for S2k. you're saying that if S2k was coupe and not convertible, it would of weight less or cost that stop em from make S2k lighter?
I'm not saying S2k is overweight. Just saying that S2k & GC8 (JDM ver) weight bout the same. S2k = FR NA 2L 9RPM 240hp. GC8 AWD 2L close to 8RPM 280hp. Just feels that S2k should of break 2800... but all those statements are just my selfish thoughts.
