Mine weighs in at about 3440. Certain things were lightened(battery, battery box, transs mounts, etc.) while weight was added elsewhere. I have the full-size battery and I have floormats and a fire extinguisher adding weight -- wheels are a bit heavier than stock -- but I'd be really surprised if another 78 that still has all of its parts comes in under 3300.

Hi 
Good post (that must have been hard work)
You got a fair amount of the Euro stuff wrong though...as an example, my S2 (UK) 1986 (made for 1 year only as the transition model between 16v and 32v ) has the most powerful 16v motor in it (4.7) and its 310 hp with a 2.35 diff (auto) there were also a very few S2 manuals as well. It also had S4 brakes and suspension.
In the UK we never had a 5.0 ltr 16 valve either....
All the best Brett
