Well the car weighs less than 3100lbs, not sure on the exact weight. I just got back from Houston but didnt have time to weigh it. Next time I go I will compile a new list and weigh the car for everyones reference. The rollcage is going in right now...i dont even know how much it weighs, lol.

And i bet Cable has a ton of money to spend too! Whereas I dont. Safety is an issue with racing, that is the point of a rollcage, which I have, and a 5 point harness, helmet and firesuit. .1, lol, I lost half a second with weight reduction, no bull. Most of the weight removed was not safety related anyways. Besides my car isnt street driven, race tracks only.

tubular A arms
tubular rear arms
all abs crap
all smog crap
will have relocated battery
might remove padding from carpet
probably remove the wiring for the abs and smog out of the harness along with anything else not needed
