I'm pretty sure a hatch even with full interior+k20 swap+maybe slicks=easy 12s. Considering the 91-95 hatch weighs about 2000lbs stock and the k20, from what I've heard, is capable of 250whp or so, I can't see it being a problem.

at the MIR import/domestic shootout a couple years ago there were tons of swapped hatches running 12s and faster NA but they were gutted.
edit: by "not a tin can" i mean front and back seats, carpet, interior plastic, glass, etc.

Anyhow, the car is my DD for now so i'm not willing to give up TOO much comfort, although it has a really loud exhaust right now and I love it.

Its not a DD but my CRX has gone 11.75 @122mph on the motor. 12's are very common these days on the motor (atleast out west). My 94 hatch ran consistant 13.5's on street tires with a bone stock R under the hood.

One seat, full carpet, full glass, roll cage, all plastic pieces except two rear side pieces (maybe 2 pounds each), and I removed the heater core. As I said, its not a daily driver but it is registered AND insured.
