Lightweight RWD Coupe/Conv
Hey everybody, I'm new here. Been looking for a new sports coupe for a little while now but haven't been having too much luck. So does anyone know of any cars that are coming out or are out already that fit this criteria:
Lightweight ( < 3000 lbs ) RWD Price Range 20-25k Could be Coupe or Convertible Competent powerplant Well thats about it. Here's the list that i put together so far: Mazda Miata (not enough power) Honda S2000 (love it, just looking for others) |

Re: Lightweight RWD Coupe/Conv
Here's an interesting idea. For that price you could take the lightest used car of your choice and have some mechanics jimmy a Chevy 350 powertrain into it, then have the body totally perfected and painted. In fact you may come out paying less that $20k. Think about it, light car + big engine = happyface

Re: Lightweight RWD Coupe/Conv
On a similar vein to Madman, take an rx-7, I prefer the FD, and put an LSx engine in it.
Then you have something with 50 50 weight distribution, 300+whp and tq, and less then 3k lbs and rwd |
