11' Fiesta @ ~2550lbs
wheelbase 98
length 160.1
Width 66.8
height 58
I know you really can't compare a Fiesta to it but that's one heavy car regardless for it's size. You add to the above bigger body panels/flares, bigger engine, bigger brakes, bigger wheels, bigger exhaust, 6spd, driveshaft, rear end. That's 300+lbs
Unless they are using hallow sways, aluminum driveshaft, alum. suspension arms(not stamped steel), aluminum hood, trunk and roof skin than I don't see how it's possible.

I just want to point out that the Fiesta is a heavy lump. The Mazda 2 is based on the exact same chassis with the exact same engine, albeit tuned differently, and it weighs closer to 2300lbs Source:
Mazda USA. The curb weight is under Engine/Mechanical.
Also I've said that the FT-86 might weigh 2800lbs before so I call dibs
. Although I hope it is closer to 2600lbs
