    Hidden alongside this morning’s announcement of the new fourth-generation Mazda MX-5’s arrival in a free-to-download Forza Horizon 2 pack is some even better news: the actual curb weight numbers for the new Miata.

It's possible to get a third-generation car below those weights in fully-equipped, streetable form, but it's neither inexpensive nor easy--and the same treatment would yield even better results...
