Put cup 2rs on that car and this car would be hard pressed to keep up. I won't even compare it to a 911 GT3…would be an insult to the 911.

The answer to the weight is actually in your post…10 years ago!!
All the additional regulations for safety and crash structure are making todays cars heavier and heavier, not too mention all the tech features that are built in and a lot of them also for safety, not just comfort and luxury.
10 years ago a lot of things were not mandatory on cars that now are…I don't like it neither, but lightweight cars are a thing from the past…
