I've driven a local competitors 240SX in STS and I was very impressed with its balance, and it doesn't feel heavy. I've been thinking about modding my 280Z for SM2.

IIRC the 2000 or so and earlier Imprezza's weighed in at about 2800lbs or so. They already have a 2.5. You get the idea. Of course the added weight would hurt it in some spots. Thats why the S13/14 would be a good option. You can get a sub 2500lbs weight easy. Getting the e36m3 that light would be tough I would think. E30's are much lighter but they dont have the quality rear suspension that the S13/14 or the E36 has.
