It seems the MKII is heavier because of its bigger engine.
I have been quoted 2700 to 2800 all included.
Maybe more 200 to 300 pounds more than the MkI
Are my assumptions correct?

My MkII with 427W Roush weighs 2450lbs. dry. 302W based engines might be 100-200lbs. less.
Changes I found necessary for track use include:
Track tires
Harder brake pads
Accusump or dry sump
Adjustable shocks and stiffer springs (helpful, but not essential)
I have not driven modern supercars, but have a lot of racing experience with Formula Atlantics and older production based racecars. A GT40 is definitely old school with no electronic assists. Powerslides are a blast, but braking and cornering probably don't match modern supercars. Torque out of corners probably exceeds modern cars.
