    Lies, it will be a miracle if it's under 2000 lbs. Will be shocked if it's under 2,100 in production trim.

    Any news story that has so many grammatical errors I have trouble decyphering the message is suspect, but since CosmosNopower doesn't believe it, I do.

    Too many grammatical errors for someone that spells deciphering wrong?

    Not sure how they will do it. The Elise weighs 1900-2000 lbs and is a more expensive, more spartan, and more fragile car than the Miata.
    ...and across the line.

    If they get it down to 2100lbs I will be amazed.

    Never happen. The cost of a 1,800 lb car would be more than the public would pay for a MX5. 2,100 I can buy but even this weight will be difficult for
    a marketable production car.
