I took my car to the PCA Club race at Sebring today. They used a four scale system with a scale under each tire. It looked just like the pic below but I had the f/glass hood on it.
So what do you think it weighs? I'll let five people post thier quess than I'll post the actual weight. The winner will win a package of used sawz-all blades. Good Luck!!! |

Well I don't know, I see weight savings in the following:
-rear fenders to f/glass -driver's door to f/glass (I haven't cut the beam out of the stock one so it is very heavy) -f/glass sail panels and hoop. -rear panel and tail lights deleted and replaced with a single brake light. -race slicks vs the DOT tires should save some -light weight battery -delete the alternater? Is this worth the inconvience? Then I need to add back some tubing in the engine compartment. Maybe I can net out with another 50 pounds savings so my goal is 1,550 pounds. What do ya think? Paul |
