Default 2000 Shell good for a weekend racer?

I was originally looking for a 92-95 hatch, but I see there is a 2000 shell forsale. Would the 2000 shell be a good choice for someone who just wants to hit the track on the weekend and have some fund with friends, or should I keep looking for a hatch?

Thanks

Corey

Yea, I was wondering how much extra weight the SI shell is compared to the Hatch.

I have not thought that far ahead yet, I figured all the hatches would be about the same. So it looks like from what you posted, there is not that much of a weight difference between them though..

longer wheel base also helps with leverage and keeping the wheels planted.
