It's not light, but it's not that heavy. It needs to lose around 300 lbs. with a bump in hp. Any lower and you're sacrificing size/cabin room and increasing the price by using more lightweight materials. It definitely needs to be a tad leaner, but as the GT-R proves, it's not always about weight. Granted it's not nor should it be awd, but some of that GT-R wizardry has to be somewhat usable in a rwd setup.
