OK Jag, I will bite (and no I do not really think you are trolling), why is it important for car to be so light?.
It does nothing for safety, and makes the cars a true farce concerning being street related.
I cannot see why they allowed carbon fiber bodies, as none are available as street options, as the early IMSA wide fenders were.

Why is losing weight so important to you, especially when the Greenwood type cars, and the Porsche 935s were closer to 3,000lbs than 2,600lbs?

It just makes no sense to limit horsepower and then try to make up for it,they go hundereds of pounds away from prod. stipper weight.
