As I have come to learn, Miata is always the answer clocking in at a measly 2,400lb. The katerham advice is good if you're willing to go kit car though.

This is going to come across as bitchy but: Put your money where your mouth is. Stop giving BMR money and buy a Caterham instead.

As an M240 owner, it amazes me how much it weighs. It’s such a small car, and so lively and well handling.

My ‘05 Mustang weighs less, and if it wasn’t for the handling changes I made to it (sway bars, coil-overs, control arms, and more), the BMW would still handle better.

We own a Volkswagen GTI. I don't know if it's fast enough for you, but it's no slouch and it's a totally normal sized car.

I'm curious as to why you chose that particular vehicle. It's an interesting choice for someone on HN. What convinced you that this car was right for you?
