And I can attest to the fact that not all Gen IIs are lightweights. Mine
has been on a diet for some time :-) and is down to 3500 (3700 with me in
it). I race it the way I drive it into the track. (too lazy to remove
anything there!) A lot more weight could be removed if I didn't enjoy the
creature comforts so much.

NA, 318, automatic, air, tilt, cruise, trailer tow pkg, etc.......
13.74 @ 99.88 .....100.55 with a tail-wind :-)
