Hi folks... can anyone explain why the 86-88 RX-7 is listed as 200 lbs heavier than the 89-91 models?

Scott 89t2

it's the other way around

Icemark

The later models (series 5 89-91) were heavier due to a changing in re-enforcements in the dash, engine design, mousebelts (and the structure changes for them) bumper design, interior materials and increased sound proofing.

Yep! Thanks for the correction ( edited my original post).
And thanks for the info!

Icemark

There was also other minor things, like the jack changed from the light weight german (and very expensive) one to a conventional (read cheaper) steel one and things like that..

but the newer ones are more powerful, correct?

Yes, but the 86-88 models still have a better power to weight ratio.
