Not saying we don't alter weights but actual lead is becoming a luxury anymore, unless you got a 150# driver or a throw away car. I still remember the 2100# cars, that was rough.
Frames have went from 275# bare to about 325+#, then add in fire system, full containment seats, safety fuel cells (some of them are heavy as hell), stiffer bodies, etc. it all adds up
