The top and misc parts is about 75 pounds, but it was not stated if that was net of removing the soft top.

MazdaSpeed 3 will feature the engine that will eventually make it into Mazda Speed MX5. 2.3L turbo healthy 250-270 HP and 280lb ft torque, light body, retractable hardtop and oem body kit. All for around $30k. it will redefine the roadster market once again.
