Weight, holy ****
OMFG i just read my factory manual for the first time...
it says non-turbo RX-& has a curb weight of : 3600+ LBS!!!!!
Is that a typo b/c the reason i got the rx7 to begin with was because i heard it had great balance of weight and power. I should of just got a 240sx maybe, they weight like 2800+ lbs.
1988 GXL (5 spd) manual by the way.

the only FC with weight over 3000 is convertibles (or FCs with a few subs and a fat passenger). your car should also be in the neighborhood of 2800.
goto www.mazdamark.com
curb weight: 2720, turbo: 2850, convertible: 3003

lol, sorry, didnt meanto give any one a heart attack.
the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) is 3625 lbs. i assume thats the total maximum weight that the car should have at any given time.

89 Turbo: 2987; 90 Turbo: 298X (7?); 91 Turbo: 2987
the "90's" is smudged, but i assume all three are said to be the same. i dont get how its a "pig" when its only 137 pounds heavier (S4: 2850; S5: 2987). over by 5 or under by 13? i think you need the diet, Santi !

I believe you're looking at the "curb"(?) weight rating, which includes full tank of gas, all fluids topped off to spec, full cargo capacity (150 lbs.?), and a driver and passenger (both rated at 150lbs. I believe?).
