Thanks.......now more converter and less weight. I really did not want to take anything out of the car but really like to see how fast it can go too.

Lol, and so the weight reduction begins, my RS with all crash bars, carpet and anything else not needed removed is 3150, if I was using a stang it would be 2600 or less, and no telling how much faster, not to mention it is a manual. Next build will be streetable but 90% track, a 240-280 z car. That way I can enjoy a light chassis all day.

That's kinda why I have not cut on mine yet. I like being able to drive it around on weekends and I also drive it to work at least once a week and that's 32 miles each way. At 5:30 in the morning its nice to be able to listen to the radio and not a hulled out car rattling down the highway

Mine is stopping JUST short of that...except for the doors. The doors will barely be able to stand up by themselves when I'm done.

Cut out the door braces remove front bumper support (replace it with exhaust tubeing) and trade out ur carpet pad for dynomat. Thats about 80pds which is almost a tenth! And its still a streetcar. My notch with a 6.0 will b weighing in at about 2800 with me in it and its still a streetcar with all seats. The cage is the only giveaway that its lethal! lol. did u go with coilovers n tubular a arms?
