We put the teener on the race scales today...its a little "Miss Piggy"! I was actually hoping to be under 2,350 lbs but it was a little over. A little heavy for a teener but comparative LIGHTNESS against nearly any other road going car. I'm satisfied.

It came in at 2,392 lbs (42/58 F/R) wet with a full tank of fuel. That isn't all that bad considering stock it is 2,194 lbs (46/54 F/R); I wonder if manufacturers weight #'s are wet? Hmm?

We did not corner balance but here are the scales with me (227 lbs) in the car.

I can't help but compare it (power and weight) to the 991 GT3. I know, there's really no "comparison" between the two but its fun!

1) 991 GT3: 3,150 lbs / 450 hp =7 to 1; Torque: 9.7 to 1; Gas Mileage: 20 Hwy

2) 914/LS3/986-6 Speed: 2,392 / 465 hp = 5.14; Torque: 5.31 to 1; Gas Mileage: 28 Hwy

Bodacious!

I'm sure that baby get's on down the road!

Nice!

Very cool..

Maybe heavier than you were planning for but it's gotta be a rocket and a helluva lot cheaper than the option you're comparing to! Great job and a great looking car to boot!

Cheers and again, thanks for the encouragement!

That seams right, in fact actually pretty light for a full cage car... The cage adds 200lbs...

I hope you have a clear lexan rear lid

I see a simple 30 lbs you could lose

Andy - I agree and was never chasing weight - its a hot rod.

Chris - Hmm? That might be a good idea!

Rich - I could lose a few but the car is fine. Thanks!
