Reality is, cars are getting heavier and heavier. Just look at the 997TT's. We all want "creature comforts" and "safety features" and they all add a significant amount of weight. The days of getting a sports car under 3,000 lbs are gone (there are a few very very unique exceptions).

Yup, all I can think of that is an actual car (not an Atom) is the new Ferrari 430 Scuderia. It is just a tad over 3000 pounds. I miss the days of the 2700 pound F40!

What the hell happened to the 20" alcoa's that the pre-production cars had on them. Those 18" copies look like ass.

the Z06 isn't bad at 3200 lbs
