Hmm, definitely worth a look then. I don't know how much the 1st gens weigh, but i heard it's very close to or more than a 2nd gen (around 2,700-2,800#)....gotta have that checked out 1st, too. I want the full race car (without driver) to tip the scales at no more than 2,200#....I think NIRA rules allow a minimum weight of 2,100 pounds, but i can't remember for sure. Duh - more stuff to look up...
