I would like to have a handling oriented GT car (without receiving the German maintenance bill). I don't need the V8, but it has to been enough of a sleeper that I can sneak up on the local WRX/370Z hanging around, I am happy.
And yes, you can have a lightweight car and the safety regs... silly American "muscle" just has not figured it out yet. I have no doubt that they could make a 3,000 or less monster.
I wish my 2er was lighter as well. Like you, I prefer a sub-3,000 pound car.
