A lot less. Currently, factored as it is, it only has to weigh 3250 or so in A/SA.
Several LS powered cars have run in the 9 second zone in A/SA.
A lot of people do not realize what it actually takes to make 600 HP. None of the traditional small blocks can do it in Stock Eliminator trim. The crate motors, with high lift roller cams and big throttle bodies are another story.
