Default Plain STI Shell Weight...

Anybody know what the weight of a gutted, plain 2004-2007 STi monocoque shell is?
No running gear, doors, or any other mechanicals, like a "body in white" for full GT type build-up...

Drive magazine recently had something about the rally cars that Subaru uses. Cited a weight of 2710 lbs. I'd imagine the shell is a bit lighter than that.

Its not very heavy at all. Myself and a friend moved one with a full prodrive group-n cage a few years back.
