Toyota FT-86/FR-S

Look at that thing, no way it weighs under 2800lbs. I'm guessing it is going to come in a little over 3000 lbs.

I know the Z is heavy, but this car was developed to have a lightweight distribution. The 2000 Accord sedan weights under 3000 lbs, so I could definitely see this weighing at around 2,700 lbs. Nothing is official yet, so we just have to wait for the final specs.

You can add probably about 250 lbs in just safety equipment to that 2000 Accord if it were built today. The 350Z had to go up 150 lbs in 2006 due to new safety requirements and Nissan claims they added something like an extra 100 lbs of safety equpment between the 350Z and the 370Z (it's why about 1/2 the weight savings in the new design was lost).
