The irony is that I'm probably going to have to add ballast to make minimum competition weight. For the class I'm building it for, 1.8L engines are about 2400 lbs. Granted, it means I can put it where it needs to go to help with corner balance and front/rear distribution, so it's not a total loss.

I'm an engineer so this is kind of what I do. My brain needs challenges like this otherwise it gets bored and starts inventing problems to solve. =)
