^^ those aren't even 240's anymore, those are full tube-chassis cars, so it kinda doesn't count.

I think he's curious about how light an S13 coupe can be while still retaining at least most of the factory unibody.

How are those not 240's?
Shit, they run KA engines.

You understand that the majority of Pro level drift vehicles are tube framed to certain extents.

Where do you want to draw the line then?

True but they retain most of the stock unibody, and besides he was asking about race cars, not drift cars. Those IMSA GTP cars run KA's, and look like 240's but, they utilize those pseudo fiberglass exterior panels to make em look the part.

Idk I guess it's just my opinion, I guess I'd draw the line between unibody (or at least most of it) and full tube chassis with a fiberglass look-alike body. Unless the car started life as a 240 but then that's a whole nother complication lol.
