Car weights...

Well they are made of iron. N/A 12A's are the lightest by far but they are still fairly heavy. You forgot to mention that they are also really short, keeping the weight low.

My 84 GSL-SE weighted in at 2415 sans driver. That is pretty much fully loaded minus AC compressor and bracket. Still had the spare and some tools in the storage bins.

I can relate to how heavy the motors are. I had to move a fully dressed 12A four times in the past two weeks using only a skateboard and friend. Heavy and awkward to carry.

I think he meant a pair of Chevettes. I'm surprised how much the RX7s weigh, I figured they'd be lighter than that in stock-ish trim. Where are you weighing your stuff at, DIY scales or truck stop/dump scales? Bryce

I knew someone would say that, and yes I meant both chevettes.

The lightest I got my 91 318is was 2325lbs wet. Completely streetable too with carpet, doorpanels and headliner intact.

I know my 91 Civic Si in ST trim was 2080lbs on the corner weighing scales at my sponsor's shop. And that was with full tank of gas if I remember right and 20lbs of sponsorship decals. LOL.

Digging this one up from the grave...

The RX-7 started @ 2650 w/me (@230) and was @ 2540 here. I got it down to 2500 w/me in STS-legal trim, and another 50Lbs lighter with no interior.

I just weighed the Miata today (93 B Package). 1/2 tank, me (@230... STILL!), factory hardtop (headliner and defrost), spare/jack, etc on 15" RoTa's and it weighs: 2570

So plop off the hardtop, take out the mats, spare, etc, and it's probably @2500 in stock race weight. I figure an STS-legal exhaust (header, high-flow cat, cat-back), CAI, and some little stuff (battery, pulleys, etc) and I can get it to 2400Lbs with me. Now Audra is well over 100Lbs lighter (probably 130Lbs lighter) so 2270...

Aaaah the good ole' days. My EP civic was 1520 wet, caged, no driver.
