Yeah, we weren't gonna do P&G for this.

The weight delta should be smaller with the lighter drivetrain.

I've noodled something similar as I have a G10/5sp on the shelf and a Tempo with the inefficient a/t. I concluded that it would be a very nice improvement over the stock Tempo but unless there's something I really, really like about it over the Metro body, the Metro will win for fe. However, there is a chance for improved fe vs stock Metro using a Spitfire chassis...
