You can get it there. My last 84 GSL build that I did weighed 2242lbs with me in it. I was about 220lbs then, and this was with a full tank of fuel (15-16 gallons in a fuel cell). My interior was gutted, lightweight racing seats, underneath the dash was gutted, spare tire and jack, engine compartment was cleaned out, even went down to installing carbon fiber pedals. On 100 shot of tha juice, the car dyno'd at 409 whp. Needless to say, it was a fun little car.
