The ORECA is, the Acura is by all indications not or else there should be no reason to be running overweight and stressing the car harder. Turns out that a beefed up Accord engine with twin turbochargers and a subframe is just a bit heavier than a proper racing V8.
Mazda doesn't have a weight issue because it isn't a stock block, but they also can't turn the power up any higher anyways.
