2,600 to 2,800 is actually pretty typical. Kirkham and FFR are, generally speaking, about the lowest weight around. Yeah, I guess it's the fiberglass that is a major factor there. FFR, for instance, their early cars were pretty thin on the glass, reducing weight, but at the expense of the potential for spider cracks, paint flaws, glass webing could be seen through the paint in some cases. There is always a trade off somewhere.

Rumor has it Kirkham is getting darn close to 2,000 with all their "billet" options in place, alloy engine, etc.
