Without being too rude, with easily over 10 years in the industry, common sense tells me it cannot be no lighter than that. The latest Miata is almost 2600lbs, it's smaller than the FT and does not have the same amount of windows, seats, smaller trunk, roof, b and c pillars, more safety standards and safety concerned areas needing reinforcements because of being a 2+2. The FT86 overall has more metal and glass. Throw on the bodykit and or have the turbo model and your pushing 3000+. That's why I stress that the NA model push at least a non-overrated 205-210hp to the crank, which is kinda farfetched for a non-turbo Subaru engine.
