Who has the lightest car?
Re: Who has the lightest car? I might have one of the lightest 'non gutted' street cars (stripper Z28) = approx. 3320lbs without me or jack/spare in it and with less than a 1/4 tank of fuel. <img border="0" alt="[Chevrolet]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
Re: Who has the lightest car? LS1LT1 - That's what my fully-optioned SS weighs w/ full interior on Convo Pros. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I think Colonel is in the 3,0xx range. You might also ask GeorgeC. Raughammer also has a light car, but I don't think it's as light as Colonel's.

The scale will tell the tale!
Oh BTW, I'm not the lightest. My RW is close to 3500. It always cracks me up we people talk about my "lightweight" car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

FWIW Bob talks to me and JS fairly regularly. His car will weigh in the 2800-2900 lbs raceweight range for sure....
</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Not possible. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Looking at my car that comes in at 3430 with me in it (I am 185). The car already has a lot of stuff removed to get down to that weight (seats, front bumper, etc).
If I were to remove all the interior/climate controls (120#), swap to a pin on hood (35#), remove the entire exhaust system/y (50#), go on a diet and lose 40#, power windows/abs/cruise/etc (another 30#), rear bumper support (15#), radio/speakers (10#), airbags (25#), PS/manual rack (30#) then somehow magically find another 70# to take off the car (maybe complete lexan windows) I'd still come in at a 3000# race weight.
I know JS wants to see Bob come in at some super low weight so he can have an excuse when Bob beats him at the track, but I don't see any of these cars going under 3000# with driver without a fiberglass hatch or something.

"I know JS wants to see Bob come in at some super low weight so he can have an excuse when Bob beats him at the track"
Boy r u wrong Terry.
Bob is MY FRIEND and a GOOD FRIEND at that.I wish him the best with his project.I dont care if he beats me by 10 cars.
The guys asked a question and I answered it. Bob told me to my face the car would come in at 2800 to 2900 lbs but u have a point.Until he weighs it no one will actually know the weight.
Excuses,No man that aint my style.I built my car to run 10 Sec ets on motor.I believe I have a shot at that goal.Terry I find u very contradictive.Not too long ago u knocked me for running JPR heads,told me your LT1 JPR water pump didnt work for **** and made fun of me for gutting my car.Now you've totally changed your tune?How come all of a sudden u have this love and affection for the NJites.
Talk about a band wagon jumper.
U sure fit the bill.U constantly say to me I sold out but your the epitome of that statement.
The bottom line is,It took a set of S2X heads and a GIANT cam plus a much lighter car to beat my old setup that u said was ALL converter.If thats true then that sez alot for the MMS stuff on your car.And u dont want me tell u what that is?

I must have a 'very' light car then. I have no jack/spare, front sway bar, and backseats. Running Sears Guardsman 165-15s on Weld 15x 3.5" on the front and 16x8 chromes with 11.5" et streets on the back, my car weighs in at 3420-3430 depending. Last time I weighed myself I weighed 177 lbs. Is your car caged? Bob's is not. Obviously neither is mine....
Bob wouldn't lie about his car's weight. Bob is a friend, he has been to my house before etc, neither of us have any reason to lie to the other....
Also, I think everyone knows Bob's car is going to be awefully fast, likely faster then JS's car. We don't compete against each other, we are all friends....
