I think I remember someone replacing everything with ASM or similar high end japanese carbon fiber pieces and it saved him like 500 pounds or something like that. But also cost a ridiculous amount too.

 

^ Yeah, that costs like 40 grand. I wish I knew someone that could do aluminum at a decent price...

 

wow, that is pretty nice. I always thought that the car weighed closer to 2900lbs. I think i'm going to put my car on a diet now. BTW, how much do oem 16's weigh?

 

My '04 weighed in at 2,700lb even with less than 1/4 tank, without spare and jack/tools.

 

I had mine corner-weighed last year, it came in at 2806 lbs. with the turbo, 18" OZ Superleggera's w/225's/265's, jack and spare, and 3/4 tank of gas.

 

yeah, the spyder is light...@ 2200 lbs, but the reason its so light...

the thing is SMALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. just like the miata. i mean, if you thought the s2k was small trying living w/ these cars. last time i took a look @ the MR-S...i think it had a total of 1.3 cubic ft of storage. 0.8 in the front, and 0.5 in the rear. thats pathetic.

 

Honda states 2855 lbs for the 04 AP2. They do not indicate how much gas is on board

R&T posted 2860 lbs for the same car in their big 2004 comparison.

Gas weighs about 8 lb/gal. So, even going from a 1/4 tank to a full tank (9 gal more) is only about 75 lb.

Are you sure your scales are correct?

Edit: I forgot the 40 lbs of stuff form the trunk. Then the numbers work if Honda quotes curb weight with a full tank.

If I would have seen a 2ZZ spyder come up for sale close by when I was shopping, I would have bought it.

2200 lb / 190 hp = 11.58

2750 lb / 240 hp = 11.45
