Yeah, but it still weighs almost 1000lbs more than an early CRX. Talons
are around 3100-3200 lbs. The top CRXen from CSP are weighing in at
1600lbs even, and they're legal. That's -LIGHT-. And that wins autoxes.

We all are... :-)
Still, if I were to do a 323GTX in a full-tilt way with no expense
spared. I'd be ditching those pistons in favor of a twin turbo 13b
motor. It's still a mazda motor, and is lighter, with way more potential
power under the SM/STU rules than the little 4-banger mill it comes
with. Now -that's- crazy... :-)
