less 500lb? only if you believe lotus's 1995 genvea press release spec of the pre-production elise quoted at 720kg or 1584lbs
from what ive gathered, real road going curb weight of typical S1's are closer to 760kg/1675lb...subtract that from a S2 Fed car of about 1950lb you get a figure thats pretty far from 500lbs. never the less a weigth reduction of 300 or so pounds is huge in a car so light. with the elise, its always easier to add power than to lose the weight.
a buddy weighed his lightened S2 Fed on longacres scales and was proud to see 1852lb.
