Since its FG monocoque sub 1 kip is possible.
I'm actually doing this with an aluminum rail frame and CF skeleton with FG shell for the seats. Like pod seats so no flooring and using a 4AG-e silvertop that I was able to acquire for very cheap along with all the drive train and electrical systems.
. . .For fun it will be supercharged lol, but I'll have it also able to kick lean mode with water injection with the blower on and see what kind of FE I can rake(Lean mode will be done with WOT and variable resistance between the MAP and the ECU, while the water injection will be switched on separately before initiating the WOT and resistor).

4AGE silver top is a good engine, I'm assuming your talking about the 20V japanese version?
Only downside is the iron block, but with the supercharger it's probably the right choice.
I think the unibody is the only way to go due to the better utilization of interior space. Plus, many tube frame cars are way overbuilt. People underestimate the strength of materials and don't realize it's the shape that makes a car strong not 1/4" thick wall tubing.
