My Del Sol on a recent scale weights 2335 without me the spare tire and jack in it.. not bad. The Del Sol is very competitive in SCCA IT racing more so than the GSR or the Civic SI because of the weight it gets to run at. It also would be a good car for h3 and h4 for the Honda challenge, most of the lack chassis stiffness can be taken care of via a cage and the sorter wheel base of the Del sol vs and integra and civic coupe is generally an advantage.

One of the best looking Del Sol race cars I have seen.



This is Sam Lockwoods' Del sol, he has another he is building fro enduro's.

Also in racing most race series have weight limits that cars run at so street weight is not that big of deal, most Del sol run at 2305 just like the 92-95 civic coupe, and they do not have any problem making that weight. One of the things that makes the sol heavy is that all of them came with power windows for the doors and the back. in reality they are not that heavy, but more than the CRX they replaced.
