How much do the RX-2, RX-3, RX-4 weigh?

Does anyone know offhand how much these cars weigh? I know the RX-4 is probably heaviest. I'm looking for weights when they are stock from the factory.
(Also what about power figures from an SP 13B out of a 2nd gen RX-7?)

I'm doing performance calculations...

My RX-2 weighed right at 2000 lbs with a full tank of gas and an Autopower roll bar in it- all steel, all glass, full interior. I'm sure the RX-4 weighed a bit more, though.

Ya and the rx 3 weighed stock right between 2k and 2200 lbs. stock. It depends on the year and what options it had. But if you get one and take the just the basics out like the spare adn stuff like that you can get tehm under2k very easely. With a little more stuff out like sound deadening and some intereior they will go to 1800. From what i know the r100's and the rx-3's were the lightest rotary vehicles made. the r100 is smaller than the 3 but it was built more stought. When i say that the r100 and the 3 weighed the same i mean that they were within 50 lbs of wach other off the factory line. This is what my friend told me and he owned 2 rx-3's and 2 r100's back in the day, now he and I both have rx-3 SP's.

So the RX-4 might weigh maybe 2300-2350 or so?
