What's the lightest R out there?
 
I'm curious who believes they have the record for the lightest street-legal longhood out there?

Pictures (and pics of the scales!) are a bonus.

As far as street legal goes, I think GrantG's car may have the record. I think it was around 1800 pounds according to Excellence.

We will have to compensate for fuel, oil, and driver weights depending on how the cars were weighed (most use corner balance numbers which would be race weight with driver and 1/2 fuel).

Race cars can get to about 1800 pounds. From there I believe it takes a tube frame or a custom carbon fiber unibody to get lower. The 935 Bubi was around 735kg and had to be ballasted up to 750kg.
