if it could be lighter it would be. ferrari isnt just going to leave extra weight on there if they dont have to. its as light as it can be.

No your probably wrong there! Ferrari could make it lighter, but they just dont want to. the reason i say this is because they need something to build on and improve. think about it manufacturers have the technology to make cars alot better, but they hold back that little bit so they can use it in future developments and therefore make more money.
all they need to do is compete and win, they dont need to excel the competitors...... maybe im wrong lol but it seems logical to me

No.

This car has to fit a set of technical regulations put forth by IMSA. They can't simply just make it as light as they want. 1100kg is the limit, so that's how light theya made it. And when you completely strip the interior and make the body completely out of carbon fiber, and other race ready things, it's not hard to drop weight fast.
lsiten guy, i may not know where london is or what 34+45 is or what a panda bear eats but i do #$%#ing know what cars is what. i have over 100k psots on a friggen car site ok? i know ferrari enzos and i know bmw means bavarian motor works and that Mercedes-benz means "fast and cool" in latin and i msot def know waht a effing porsche looks like. thats why i jsut brush aside your "Facts" becasue im the expert here and i know my stuff.
