About the lightest, NON-CUT FD I've heard about with twins is 2500lbs. PS, no AC, no airbags, stereo, spare tire, non-stock seats, l/w flywheel, etc.

If you went single you'd save a little bit of weight (maybe 13-18lbs), stock wheels (this one had CCWs on it) may save another 20-30lbs (guessing). Even with a CF rear hatch and lexan windows I think it would be hard to get much lighter than 2400lbs.

My R1 weighs 2740lbs with stock wheels and light on gas, no spare. 2800lbs in street trim full of gas.

That's the gross weight on the door jam sticker, not actual weight.

But gained a Ford 8.8" live axle in the bargain. Not to mention the fact that he's a pathological liar and a chronic bed wetter.

It's not that difficult to provide proof. Even if you don't have a digital camera, chances are you know someone who does, and if that's not the case, those old-fashioned cameras with film in them work pretty damn well too...
