The next-gen 2013 or 2014 Miata will weigh less than 1 ton (2,205lbs) and probably have the 2.0L Sky-Activ engine from the new Mazda 3 which puts out 155hp in that car. They are hoping to set a new benchmark for power/weight. I can't wait for that. First-gen Miatas weigh 2,200-2,300lbs.

^ would be awesome, but with new safety regulations and standards i find this impossible IMO. i mean look at the fiat abarth thats 2,282 lbs and covers much less surface area. unless they skim by with plastic bucket racing seats, no air bags, and a dash made of paper IMO the days of the 2000lb car are dead unless you want a smart car which is ~1700 lbs.
but hey if they do it, i got a few kudos in line for them.
