Actually weight has everything to do with a sports car!

They compared them b/c they were the halo cars. The GC should be compared to the 370, Camaro, Mustang etc.
Just like Spacewilly's pic shows, the FT is a sport compact and is essentially in a class of it's own; RWD/liftback. That's not to say the some of the FWD compacts and if the new Miata comes out will try and test it.
