Yeah, That new Miata is just as light as the very first one, Which is incredibly impressive considering the weight of todays cars, Not many cars today with big performance are under 3000lbs, Hell even todays small hatchbacks are 3300lbs..

that's why the Alfa 4c is a breath of fresh air, and so is the mazda mx-5.
but they aren't for sheer lap times. good tire/suspension/computer tech has allowed weight to be less of a factor. But power, however, theres no replacement for that. so cars aren't gonna get much lighter, but certainly more powerful

I wish to see more car manufacturers come out with light weight cars such as the nsx :(
