Default gutted cars

when i go to the track, i remove pass seat and rear seats. some localls call my car gutted...

can you guys post pics of your carpetless panelss cars or those with drilled chassis? so they can see the difference that my car is not as gutted as other cars, or in fact, not classified as "gutted"

(JUAN!!!!!!) dont wanna mention any names LOL

my camaro is all gutted and the only thing that stayed was the stock full interior.
people always thought it was all stock.

imo you should leave the seats on. or get some clothy non electric ones instead of looking for a tin can car picture to show them...

No panels, no carpet, only drivers seat, no passenger seat belts, no center console, no stereo, no extraneous wiring, no antenna, nothing in glove box, 1/4 tank of gas and a big dump before coming to the track!

You did all of that and this is still your (3360# race weight)...


You could probably put all of that stuff back on and get rid of your cat back and probably be pretty close to where you are without the theft recovery look...

A little weight reduction and more room for bigger tires.

My camaro is 3090 w/o me, that's with one race seat, 6 pt chromemoly bar, most of the carpeting, all the panels and no bottles in the car. I can do some more gutting of stuff like the ABS module, and of course front k-member, upper and lower arms, and full drag brakes to drop another 100-125 lbs.

Everyone has their own opinion, fast is top fuel, fast for a street car, well 11's sounds pretty damn good to me, and for who ever feels the need to talk crap about how fast your car is , well if they think it should be faster tell them to give you some money to make it faster and if they are not donating money tell them to kick rocks

HAVOK YOUR CAMARO IS GUTTET OUT YOUR GUAGES DONT EVEN WORK BECAUSE YOU TOOK OUT ALL THE SENDING UNITS TO REDUSE WEIGHT FROM THE CAR, THE WINDOWS DONT GO DOWN BECAUSE YOU TOOK OUT ALL THE MOTORS TO GET A BETTER 60 FOOT. THE AC DONT EVEN WORK BECAUSE YOU HAD TO TAKE IT OUT BECAUSE YOU GAINED 5 POUNDS SINCE THE LAST TIME YOU RAN IT AND YOU ALWAYS TAKE IT WITH THE GAS ALMOST IN EMPTY SO IT CAN WEIGHT LESS NO WONDER THE OTHER DAY THE TRACK FINISHED YOU WERE WALKING WITH* A LITTLE GAS JUG TO YOUR CAR IT PROBABLY RAN OUT OF GAS AT THE 1/4, YOUR FRONT BUMPER ALSO LOOK LIKE IT IS GOING TO FLY OUT OF YOUR CAR IT IS SO LOSE THAT IT WAGLES. ALSO SINCE THEY ARE MAKING YOU PUT IN A CAGE IT MEANS YOU ARE GOING TO GET SOME MORE WEIGHT SO YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE SOME MORE CRAP OUT FROM THE GO CART YOU DRIVE. BY THE TIME YOU KNOW IT IS ONLY GOING TO BE THE CHASSIS WITH A SEAT AND THE DRIVE TRAIN TALK ABOUT WEIGHT REDUCTION HAVOK BUT DONT LISTEN TO ME GUYS IM JUST TRYING TO STIR UP A LITTLE BUT HAHOV JUST KEEP TAKING WEIGHT OUT OF YOUR CAR AND THE ET'S ARE GOING TO KEEP COMING DOWN NO WONDER YOU ONLY HAVE LIKE 250 RWH AND ARE AT ONLY LIKE 2200 PUONDS WITH YOU IN IT
