Well, I'm sure the letter will be answered to confirm for you that the
weight is without driver.
One could make a pretty good argument that since it doesn't say one way or
another that one should assume its the weight of the car alone. After
all, those modified classes that weigh with driver explictly say "weights
shown are with driver".
Regardless, it seems pretty clear what the answer is. Write the letter.
It wouldn't hurt to add a couple more words to the rulebook. But try and
not be a dick about it, IMHO.

This sentence doesn't parse to me. What do you mean? Do you mean that a
car prepped to roadracing rules should be allowed in prepared? Which
ruleset? Production? GT?

Where does it say "with driver"?

The min weights in CP are pretty good that way, IMHO. I don't know enough
about the rest of the prepared classes to comment on those. Don't forget
that weight is also used to balance competitive advantage.
