I guess I was hoping for something closer to 2700 instead of 2800. We aren't too far off, only 50 lbs or so.

Curb weights are regional. Eg. US is all fluids and 90% of a tank of fuel. Germany adds a passenger and luggage. I believe Japan's curb weights calculate with 1/2 a tank of fuel.
I guessed 2866lbs/1300kgs and only the fully loaded automatic is going to break 2800 so at least I'm not disappointed.
BTW, Drifting isn't racing, Drift Racing is.
