Yes, I have to remind myself that the newer small Hi-Perf cars have much more wt. due to more hardware to handle the extreme HP.
My two Renault R5 T-2s were 2,100 lbs. with little 1.3L pushrod, charged, industrial engines. Not a lot of beef needed to handle 210 HP.
Also, unlike the new cars, the spartan interior of the R5s was not luxurious, by any means.

I'm a fool for small, yet strong, cars.
