2JZ really can't be beat. All around. Weight? Eh. It wont feel like a miata. But it wont feel like what you think either. We do a lot of 2JZ swaps into 240s and they are definitely not all drag/show cars....... 240s can weigh in under 2800 lbs with the swap.

Now that I realize the kind of person I'm dealing with I'm not continuing this argument. It's not going to go anywhere.
Just some food for thought though: The Mustang Cobra Motor fits in my car with a not-so-hard to install retrofit kit that you use to convert it to RWD, fit the motor, make room for the 5 speed transmission and there's room for the diff in the back. This conversion gives the car a LOT more power and the handling is improved also. This means that the same conversion would yield the same results in a Dodge Neon right? See where I'm going with this?
Not to mention, the RB26DETT and SR20DET motors are extremely popular and fairly simple conversions for 240's and there's more than enough room to do the swap up front. Have you SEEN the engine bay in the FRS? You can turn whatever you want into a time attack car; that does NOT mean that it's as effective as it would with a more native configuration, and it sure as hell doesn't mean it's unbeatable.
