Mine weighs 2100 lb in autocross trim (i.e., no spare/jack/etc. and maybe a
gallon of fuel).  It's a base model with no A/C, no power anything, and an
aftermarket stereo.  If I added a turbo that might bring me up another 40-50
pounds.

around the minimum without any major effort.

And that car would get trounced by a maximum effort that removed as much
weight as possible and relocated advantageously.
