The aluminum case 6 and the 915 account for around 150 lbs compared to a 4 cyl car. Sounds like between what you're already doing and with mepstein's list, there are some good areas to drop some weight.
I would argue the motor is 150 alone
the 915 even more on top of that
(I rebuilt my race aluminum case into a mag race motor to save another 20lbs)
to the OP:
sounds like your giving up some weight with the heavy duty running gear
do you run vented rotors on the back?
heavy CV joints for the 915 (along with heavier stubs)?
the flares and larger wheels are a challenge also...
I'm about 1826#/ wet (no driver), right now with the same fiberglass panels as you and a 2.0/6 (similar motor weight/ maybe 20lbs difference for the mag case)
read my build thread.
there are more things you can do
they take time, and some cost... but there are things
the Jeff Beck 2.5/6 was rumored to be down to 1600 lbs (more fiberglass though)
and also rumored to be 296 on the dyno
imagine that power to weight ratio!
is the 915 legal with CVAR?
maybe FIA rules?
