Just curious how much weight is saved by omitting these items. Most of the reviews I've seen list the curb weight of the Limited model at 3,050 Lbs.
One Aussie source listed the weight at 2,986 Lbs. Not sure if that's a base model or not but that 60 Lbs. difference sounds about right for the equipment omitted on the base model. Anybody get an actual weight on the base model coupe yet ?
