Apparently the US has a safety standard of testing car crashes with the occupant not wearing a seatbelt. As the only major market to do this, it adds hundreds of pounds to many lightweight concepts, probably even our own FR-S. If the government can let us decide whether we'd like to be safe or not in the occurance of a accident, perhaps 1800 lbs may be feasible. I mean, look at the elise . . .
