2012 Mazda RX7?

Right, whereas the Rotarys weigh about 200 pounds. So a 300 pound different at least from the V8's.

The RX8's have already passed the safety standards! When orginally released, they weighted 2950; now they weigh 3050. Again, minus the two seats and they very well could shave the 200- 250 pounds. Remember, the 16X engine is lighter than the current engine.

Where Nissan could not shed weight by getting smaller (engine weight added the 42 pounds), Mazda can as their new larger engine weighs less. Very feasible and IF this comes to past, the 370Z MAY have to worry about it.

Guess we will see.
