With more aluminum, smarter use of high strength steel, and a lack of rear seat you would greatly offset any weight gains from the heavier powertrain and sound deadening.

I don't think 2900 lbs ist some impossible number.
Don't forget our flat 4 is actually pretty damn heavy because of it's design. Vorshlag threw a V8 and a tremec transmission in and only gained 50 lbs

So it's power train could easily be lighter. And only needing to handle 340 hp the transmission could be light as well
