Also Roughly How Much Hp Would It Take To Compensate For 900 Lbs (say Being Currently In The 500 Hp Range)

Once you start getting that heavy it's really tough trying to get the car moving quickly. Believe me, I just bought a 4000 pound 82 Firebird. I'd say it's roughly a second slower and about 10 MPH slower than if it weighed 3000 pounds. The .1 for every 100 pounds is about right IMO until you start getting really light. It's all about percentages.

weight reduction will help out all over the board... power:weight ratio is a killer. Trust me, I drag race a 4K# truck LOL.... heavy vehicles are also extremely hard on drivetrain parts as already has been mentioned.

well you can ditch the sfc's since you have the cage. And i doubt the cage weighs 150. Why dont you pull some weight out?? You can still have a street/show car look after taking some weight out
I ditched al the a/c crap spare tire and jack and weighed it all...
it weighed in at 110lbs...thats any eay tenth if you dont use the a/c....id go for a 125 shot justto be safe....

I can believe it. We have one car that runs mid 10s and hits the scales at over 4100Lbs
Safety is well over 150Lbs in this car
Not only does it run mid tens it wins car shows and Open Road races
