I'm not sure re: the weight but it has to be *light*

Figure 100 pounds less, but they also removed a lot of accessories, so probably another 100+ pounds (guestimating)
You can get pretty good power N/A from them and they love to rev. Would make for a fun e30.

2350 pound car, 140 torque, 8k rev limit and 195hp at the wheels = one hell of a fun car.

The rotary looks awesome and would bea helluva car to drive, but I neve have heard one with a great engine note. Much rather have the s14, even though I'm not sure about the body. Definitely unique though. Wish I had the skill it takes to do anything like either of those cars ;)

Now all the rotary needs is a couple of turbos and it'll be great!!

Man, I dont think any worked rotary sounds good. When i used to go to atco raceway, those things would be earpiercing. Having a string of muscle cars run down the track after the rotaries was actually relieving to the ears.
