Regarding weight comparison I reckon the car can be reasonable easily dieted down to under 1200lbs. The CD is no likely to be good, but again some 'tricks' can probably be employed to better it. - One advantage is no radiator opening at the front (although air is drawn from underneath in factory spec).
Wrt the BMW boxters having a largish flywheel, this I would think is an advantage when moving (and maintaining) the extra mass of a car.
