Correct. A LS is about 186kg vs an EJ which is about the same. And no need for cooler, turbo etc etc. Gearbox would probabaly weigh more, though a 6 speed isnt exactly annorexic.

As for distrubtion - look at it. Motor is no more forward than a stock WRX, and because it isnt as wide, it would actually be pretty good.
