At the SCCA Test and Tune we were able to run a few Miati over the scales! Here is what we saw:
*Don't ask what's in the trunk! :shock:
- Mark52 '96 Base 2,135 lbs w/o driver *
POS '92 "C" Package 2,193 lbs. w/o driver
Stoltz '96 M 2,350 lbs. w/o driver
General Default '99 Sport 2,267 lbs. w/o driver
Altiain '99 Sport 2,311 lbs. w/o driver
onething '01 LS 2,403 lbs. w/o driver
How much is the New Elise suppose to weigh again?

1950... Just sneaking under the 1 ton markQuote:

BigDmiata '97 Touring 2,150 lbs. w/o driver
Also of note - while my car was 2311lbs, that was in street trim on "Empty". By comparison, General Default's car was 2267 in autox trim with a 1/4 tank of gas - no spare, floormat, etc. When we rolled his car across the scales in street trim, it was about 2294#, iirc. So it would appear that the additional weight of my roll bar is somewhat compensated by the lack of power steering.Quote:

I wanna get rid of my PS. I'm sure the big ol turbo weighs a lil more than that, which might offset the weight a bit.
On the Elise point, Lotus USA quotes:
"Weight:
757Kg* [1665 lbs]
Unladen weight 806*
[1773 lbs] (including full tank of fuel)"

Hmmmm. I'll believe Lotus until it actually hits the streets, or if someone has a better source.
But still 1700 would be 400 - 500 lbs under light M1's.

That would be under the section on Lotus USA's website entitled: Elise Specifications - (U.K.) - U.S. version will be slightly different. :PQuote:
