Your typical Miata is not so light that you'd have to add much ballast. Mine
weighs 2100 lb in autocross trim (i.e., no spare/jack/etc. and maybe a gallon
of fuel). It's a base model with no A/C, no power anything, and an aftermarket
stereo. If I added a turbo that might bring me up another 40-50 pounds.
A good scenario under the proposed minimum weight requirements would be to just
get an early A or B package Miata and turbo that. It would be right around the
minimum without any major effort.
