Does anyone have some good numbers for early miata curb weights
in solo II trim (no spare, no gas etc.)  We just picked up our '94 C-pkg.,
and courtesy of the local truckstop, I have a wgt. of 2360 lbs, w/full tank,
spare,
and extra muffler (on the way to the exhaust shop).  My best estimate is
around 2250 lbs in racing trim (no gas, no spare).
Just wanted to see what I'll be up against!  ;>

while working on the exhaust, found that stock tubing is 1 7/8" after cat.
Cat. ID is 2.5" !! talk about a bottleneck.  Replaced it w/2" and Flowmaster,
haven't finished testing yet, but 0-60 down to low 8's, but no improvemnt in low

end torque.

See ya at the races!
