At 3,775 and 326 whp then factoring in +.3 for tires and -.3 for DCT gearbox you are right at 12.080. At 3750 you'd be underweight, not a lot of wiggle room especially if you are factoring in a full tank of gas at 3775. You can easily use a 1/4 to a 1/3 tank of gas in a TT session. You have about 25 pounds of wiggle room, gas is about 6 lbs a gallon so that's 4 gallons you can burn which is about 1/4 to 1/3 a tank.
I weighed the car with 1/2 tank...in full track set up. I think the heavier DCT, driver , ballast , TR wheels and 275 tires gets me spot on. Even with this set up I know I will be slower than some of the stripped down full aero S2000 and M3s...if I had to go into TT3 it would be ugly.
