I've been drooling over one lately and may consider getting it to supplement the '90 I already have instead of upgrading to the 6th gen Camaro.

If you want to hear about real weight loss, then the Miata is it! The 2016 comes in at only 4 pounds heavier than the 2nd generation version. That's with all the included safety junk! It weighs about 2400 lbs!
The Miata comes with a 2.0L Skyactiv engine pushing 155hp@6000rpm and 148lb-ft@4600rpm. Perfect 50/50 balance as usual and with the Club edition you can opt for the Brembo/BBS package which includes Brembo brakes and forged 17" wheels along with an aero kit.
