Nizam,

I have absolutely no reason to doubt you. I am just going by what was published. Frankly, I had thought that the Milano was a lot lighter than what I read because of the apparently very lightweight construction of the car and the flexibility of its body panels.

But, regardless of whatever it weighs, I think that the 164 should do OK in racing if given the right modifications and raced in an appropriate class of cars. As the 164 gets older, racing one becomes a more viable option for the average racer.

Just out of curiousity, does anyone have any idea how much weight/power other contemporary FWD racing sedans are running in the various race series have? I am thinking of cars like the Saabs, Volvos, VWs, Hondas, Audis, etc.

Cheers,
