right at 2,650lbs even. Not heavy by most standards, but a tank by 914 standards I have a lot of car for 2650lbs tho' and yeah, it is a rocket ship. At sea level, I could roll off the grid line and punch it and hit redline/60mph so fast I could hardly grab second gear. On the track at just over 100mph and going into 3rd

I like the dark combo and orange the best as well actually - you are the only other so far but I am partial as I had a Calypso Coral (aka orange) 70 Mustang Sportsroof for years. I think the rattle can green is going to be very much like the images with the stripes.

Payton - going with the ultra-flat color on top, I should have no glare. In fact, I left the hood primered while I made up my mind on colors just to keep the glare removed and the flat color works perfectly for that. I have no glare, even off the light tan color currently of the thick primer.
