According to my Haynes manual the kerb weight of the GTi16 is 1075kg while my AE92 rally car is just on 950kg with stripped interior, full rollcage, standard doors, wind-up windows, glass etc. Therefore the FXGTV is probably somewhere between the two, so the 1020kg probably isn't too far off.
We know that four-wheel drive doesn't work in a racing car, and I proved to myself that it doesn't work very well for rallycross. I'm absolutely convinced that it has no future in rallying, either, even if the regulations allowed it. - Roger Clark (rallying legend), circa 1976
