"Racing" C900

Any thoughts on the following appreciated...
If you wanted to make a sort of 'ultimate' 900 ie. lightest, stiffest, fastest, coolest, etc., would you reckon a 2 door C900 sedan would make a better base than a 3 door? There's been a fair bit of talk in the past on the other boards regarding the 2 door 99 turbo being significantly lighter (80Kg?) than the 3 door, with the expected resultant extra weight and lack of torsional rigidity - you would assume this is the same for the 900s? [duh?!].
I suppose my question is, is the difference likely to be noticeable/significant/worthwhile or so negligable as to be not worth bothering about?
This proposed C900 project were talking would have lowered stiffened suspension, SAS swaybars, super aero wheels and be putting out somewhere in the region of 250 - 300BHP. And it would do occasional stuff like hillclimbs or sprints...
cheers
