Default Subframes HEAVY!

Bah, so much for my weight reduction.
Let's say stock Z with T-tops and leather weights what? 3600Lbs.
Ok, I dropped about 240 lbs of it. But then, diamond design subframe connectors weight about solid 65-60 punds plus I am 6`3 @ 231 lbs.
So roughly that puts me to 3656Lbs total weight. Heavy!

This is why I own two hardtop stripper cars.

Hah yeah, thing is, when I bought this car I didn't even think about weight reduction! I just wanted a fully loaded, that I am not stripping little by little haha! Oh boy...
Oh well, it's not like I am going to compete anyways, why ruin a nice car.

My v6 hardtop looks better than most racecars and weighs less than them too.
