Vin Diesels RX-7 in The Fast and The Furious would have been so much faster if he stopped hitting the gym!

Is this what you're looking for?
Too expensive, but it works as an inspiration for what you're aiming for. 2,954 pounds Nissan 370Z Nismo RC for the Track

Without a cage getting just under 3000 lbs is pretty easy. Lightweight wheels and lighter dot r tires, aluminum hat brake rotors, lightweight flywheel and clutch, aluminum body Coilovers with small springs, lightweight long tube headers and exhuast system, lightweight race seats, lightweight battery, racing steering wheel, remove all engine dressing, CF hood, remove stereo and speakers, lose spare and all associated stuff in the back, replace stock mirrors with lightweight race mirrors, Lightweight engine pullies and belts everywhere, hollow swaybars, use titanium harness bar to replace stock beam behind the seats, replacing steel nuts, bolts, brackets on non load bearing with titanium or aluminum, lightweight intakes. More radical weight removal would include stripping interior and doors, doing CF rear deck with poly window, poly side windows, cf fenders, remove AC, lightweight radiator, get a racing alternator, remove heater core and all plumbing, strip all undercoating and sealer, remove plastic fender liners, composite fuel cell, remove all sound deadening material, CF doors, replace projection beam headlight buckets etc with lightweight LED headlights, remove crash bars (not advisable), I'm sure theres more. I have seen a 2650 lb 370z with full cage.

If you don't like the Miata, you can look into the new 350Z race class. That would probably be more fun at a lower price. Or an S2000. Get a bolt on supercharger for it and you're at your power to weight target. There are a lot of other good options. But buying and then stripping a new 370Z would cost you a lot more money for the same fun factor. |
