it wouldnt be too hard to get an SN95 below 3000lbs but the car would be stripped.......no a/c,p/s,back seat,little to no interior,.......coil over front suspension and tubular k-member would be a must but a little pricey...

Mine weighs in at 3281 with me in it and that is with Cobra power front seats, A/C, P/S, rear seat delete, Stock k member. Suspension is Eibach Drag kit and lakewood shocks and struts, best 60' is 1.55 on 8- shot of nitrous on the 306 I used to have in the car. Stock 174k miles rearend with the exception of the gears, but all other stuff i.e. axles, carrier have 174k miles on them.
