Back to the weight discussion, the new Miata is a little over 2300 lbs without any advanced materials. It's easy to imagine a more expensive lightweight Porsche as a 2000 lb car, but I just don't see it being made.
the S might have a chance, but the base models no question. the twins kick the crap out of them. the twins are way more pure a driving experience, AND more practical, and less than half the cost, and for the S models its even worse.

one thing is for certain, if there is a "baby" boxster coming, then it will be slower than the current non-S.

and that will be a big mistake.

lets face it: the boxster is a fat pig now a days.
