I just sold my '99 10AE a couple of days ago.

Here's my new '08 GT I bought a couple of weeks ago. Totally stock for now, but not for long. I've already ordered Tein Mono Flex coilovers, Mazdaspeed CAI, and Mazda ipod adapter for it. A Roadstersport Q exhaust, AWR rollbar, Voodoo shift knob, and Enkei 17x9's w/ RA1's are next..

There's a well-prepped '08 at my local track (Harris Hill Road) that is #4 or 5 on their lap time rankings. #1 is a Radical (1:18i), #2 a Ferrari 355 Challenge car (1:19), then IIRC a 911 GT3 RS (1:23), then IIRC the Miata @ 1:26. I drove it for a session on Sunday, and it was amazing, the most fun I've ever had on 4 wheels!

How much do each of the 3 Miata generations weigh?

They all vary dep. on year, model variations, etc., but off the top of my head, I'd say roughly:

NA: 2100 -2300
NB: 2300 - 2500
NC: 2450 - 2500

They're the lightest sports car in production today that's not a Lotus.

Homeslice · 04-10-2009, 11:25 PM

Well that's still pretty good........I was assuming the latest one would be around 2800, given how much cars have gained these days.

OMG..the 1990 was 16% lighter than the newest version. Japan is def. going in the wrong direction.

A Smart car is lighter at 1609.

It does look like the origanal but trust me they are different. If you had two of them in the exact color both with perfect exteriors, you would be able to tell them apart at a distance.
