Default Weighed the Firehawk tonight......

Went to a local industrial park scale w/a few people..

I was on slicks/skinnies (Prostars)
Backseat and seatbelts are out
Spare/Jack is out
Sway Bar in the front is out
A/C, AIR, EGR, all removed...
1/4 Tank of Gas

Car has a Iron Block, TH400 trans, ATI procharger, CAS (BIG) radiator, 12 bolt w/posi, bunch of little stuff all in the car, probably 10 pounds worth.....

The car w/out me in it weighed in at 3500 pounds....I weigh 220, but for some reason the scale read 3760 w/me in it....

I figure thats not too bad....

I take the passanger seat out at the track, thats 30lbs, and the speakers 10lbs, that puts me into the 3680ish for a race weight...

I plan to do K-member, A-arm, Lightweight carpet over the winter....

It will get lighter eventually, but the cage isn't going to help that...
