I can't see doing all that weight reduction unless it's a track only car. You'll have to pry my AC from my cold, dead hands.

Congrats though, that's a good number. Most people think these cars are pigs, that'll surprise alot of them.

That saying sounds familour LOL
I used to say that to but its really not that bad. Plus my radiator is waaaaayy more efficient and trans cooler mounted on radiator works better to. Also, I have a ssra in front of those so removing that condensor really made some breathing room

I like the way you think but this time of year I wouldnt expect to do better than the 12.0. If I could run "around" the same time as that I would be happy. The DA was like -1000 with the 12.0. So now we are talking alot higher DA. Problem iv been having is hooking though.
