amazing what can be done, yeah I could see some issues with weight balance for sure though and maybe weight transfer issues with the rear floor cut out. Now if we were talking track use only all of the stuff you did +
custom aluminum rear subframe, lexan windows, gutted doors, aluminum dash, no passenger seats, carbon hood, starting with a hardtop would help too. I doubt you could dip lower than 2600 though. Thats why I think it would be alot more rewarding to start with a car that's already under 3000 pounds (Mk2) so I dont think id start with an Mk3 in the first place. That and I love the "luxuries" of the mk3. I normally daily drive a piece of shit 83 Toyota pickup, rusted out floors, unbalanced 35's and 4:10's, the lift springs in it are super stiff, shocks are el cheapo ones. Driving the supra is amazing after driving that thing around for a few months.
