Im going by what I was told by previous owners. And online specs... along with alot of research. The reason why I got this edition is cause it was so light. I researched miatas as a general, M3s, and sc300s with the typical soarer swap. Did price comparisons, cost of repairs, insurance and such. While researching miatas found out about the R package... 3 months into doing everything. (while my license was gone) Took 3 more months to find an actual "R" (and happened to find it on ebay)... and drove to NJ to get it. Since the only options that came on the R package were AC and a hard top... it has all the main items that would weigh the 100lbs.... not on it. "The $1,500 R Package was a special option for the Base Model, lighter weight, tuned handling. It featured a front air dam, a rear deck spoiler and a skirt under the rear bumper, a Sport Suspension, included shorter, stiffer springs (a reduction in ride height over stock), Bilstien shocks, a larger front anti-sway bar, stiffer bushings and a Torsen Limited Slip rear differential that was also part of the package. The only options that are on this car is AC and the hardtop. 1,900 pounds in weight." The only reason my car would be any heavier than 1,900#s right now is because the whole front end was replaced on the car... (the hood is a factory hood, not the light weight edition one... so maybe 20-50# heavier) it wasnt listed on the car fax, as most older miatas have been. So.... next question?Originally Posted by Sport20
