Not Ranked
Actually I've found 2600 to 2800 pounds more typical than most of us want to admit. The glass body is a HUGE factor in over all weight. Thicker, stronger, better just naturally weighs more. NOT that thinner, lighter, weaker isn't 'good enough'. I suspect the body is the main reason FFR's are lighter than most other replicas (and of course they typically run a small block).
It is VERY difficult to get close to 2000, under that is almost insane! Kirkhams recently commented that are now close to the under 2000 mark on their small block FIA type car, and hope to crack that barrier soon.
2275 is incredibly light, forgive me for being a bit skeptical on that number, but with an FFR I guess it's possible! By the way, gas weighs about 7 pounds a gallon.
I would be tickled with a 2400 weight, thats gonna be hard to beat!
