Probably not in stock classes, maybe more in SP & up.

Dunno SS weights... but there are Lotii in there.

If it's not the lightest, it's probably close. (are there really other
cars in BS?)

Are there still some TVR's in CS? What about the RX7?

Not even close. Remember, all the little V8 cars like the V8 Monzas &
V8 Mustang II's all fall into this class. V8 cars NOC is pretty wide
open.

What's an R weigh? Maybe one of the Alfas or an Isuzu Impulse? XR4ti's
are light, aren't they?

MGs, Austin-Healeys, Triumphs, etc. I bet even the 8v Saturns are
lighter at 2300 lbs. (with no rear sway bar and no power, they don't
have a chance... but they're lighter!)

Yep.

RX2 or RX3 probably. Maybe the Chevy Sprint Turbo?

MGs, Austin-Healeys, Triumphs... a MINI!
Lighter is better, but you also have to have sufficient power and a
decent suspension. The lightest is probably rarely the best. (except
for Lotus)
