Not bad I guess.
That's a bit heavier than a stock Integra.

Probably because its a convertible. Convertibles are usually a bit heavier even when compared to the same model car with the drop top. The car needs more solid parts because the car isn't as whole or sturdy as a regular car since half of it is literally made without a roof.
Plus lets not forget the S2000 was made after most Integras. People like to think that the cars today weigh less when in fact they weigh more due to the luxury things we like to put in the cars and for safety purposes as well. Let's also remember that the S2000 is a RWD car which also adds on parts to the car that are not found on an Integra.

I knew that.... But I always seenbthe s2k listed mud 2800 lbs like 2850 lbs or something like that.
It was just surprising to see how much it really weighs.

Safety has made modern cars pig heavy.

Exactly which is sort of sad. Today we're praising cars for getting 40 MPG but in all honesty we already had that years ago. :-\
The only thing that is holding us back really is weight and the fact that we still love gasoline powered engines.
