Damn I've used those connectors in the military. I did some I-level repair on the prowlers. As long as any care is taken with those connectors they will last forever.

It's in the 2500s... WITH the heavy iron LSX block. Keep in mind this car has full OEM fenders and bumpers still. I could have made it another 75-100 lbs lighter if I wanted to but there wasn't much sense in it as he has to be 2950 for X275 legal.

The feelings im having toward this car are not of an appropriate type....

I cannot say enough about the attention to detail here, this car is flawless, the little touches, the wiring, the paint, this car is perfect in every way.

Congrats to all involved, way to really set the bar up their!

Ours was 2550lbs when it was a N20 car with a stock rear hatch and glass, stock fenders, bumpers,doors and door glass.

2300 might be tough but 2400lbs could be done for sure.

You had an alum block though. I've got a filled LSX block that is solidly 150 lbs heavier than your block. Plus with the tunnel ram, twins, all the drysump stuff etc, it adds up fast. With your motor in mine, I can easily see 2300....

Powder coating adding 30-40 lbs Im guessing going by the amount of powder he used on the car....

Same connectors that they use on Patriot missile launchers LOL. Saw a pic of the firewall on yellowbullet and had to search for more pics of this car to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Beautiful car!
