I was under the impression this car is aluminum. Is it just the hardtop, hood and trunk?

60lbs taking out the top, 40lbs putting on a hardtop, net loss of 20lbs for $2000+

ARC intake, spoon n1, 0 bar of gas, removed spare/tools.
the scale was jumping from 2660-2680. just MY01.
my friends Bone Stock brand new 07 weighed 2800 even.
no passengers.

[QUOTE=plokivos,Apr 26 2008, 09:37 AM] i think if honda did make all of the suspension components and body panels with aluminum, this car would be quick off of the showroom.
just everything is steel and heavy.

Hey guys, I was just wondering what exactly is it about the s2000 that makes it so heavy when compared to a miata for example. 2800+ Just seems like alot for such a small 2 seater 
Is it the subframe and extra braces that makes it more than 500lbs more than a miata?
