Less weight is always better in my opinion because the car will do everything else much better, like stop and change direction.
Robert, do you think you'll be able to get 425hp out of your 964 or were you just being philosophical about the ideal modern 911r?

Robert, yes, I think a water cooled engine can be fully streetable at 425hp, however, an air cooled engine...is a tough call which is what prompted my question.
I would imagine that my car and Robert's car will be very similar in overall weight, especially if I can hold to my 2000lbs goal. However, it is not streetable in any respect and will require ear plugs for sound deadning
