Okay you say your goal is to have a stylish vehicle with a "decent" power to weight ratio. What do you consider decent? And what is your intended purpose for this? HPDE? Autocross? 1/4 mile?

There's many things you can do to reduce weight but it depends on what you want as a final result and what for; generic terms for goals are not useful to us. Give us specifics and I/we can start to tell you what to do for mods.

I have a 1SS/RS and I can tell you the car is NOT a pig; not in any way, shape or form. No picture does it justice; no amount of "imagining" how it will be equals the actual experience. This car is special in a way I don't think I've ever experienced in any car I've owned and I've owned MANY over the past few decades; all the way from British sports cars to muscle cars (including a 69 Camaro), to Japanese sports cars, to off-road, on-road whatever. And I've driven everything from a Ferrari to a truck.

There's something about this car that makes it more than the sum of it's parts. Drive one first before you judge it. Sounds like you have the money to do mods so I'd recommend renting one for a couple days before you decide to get one. Then we can talk mods.
