What are peoples race weight. I'm almost done with my build of my back halfed car and was wondering what the average weight were on these cars. Preferrably back halfed cars.

My back halved car is no where near done. I do have several buddy's, and old Camaro's & Nova's are usually between 2600-3100 depending on glass nose & doors, alum tin, BB, SB ect ect.

My slow car is all stock chassis, with old style heavy glass nose & doors and it's 2805 lb with a BBC. I know it's no help, but my fast car is ~2100 lb. Love a light car.

I'll be getting some up pretty soon. I'm gonna go up to Clear One and get a windshield and maybe rear glass for it so I'm doing everything I can think of to keep the weight off.
