I'm not sure. Ideally, I'd like a bad *** 4L80.
Street cars don't have roll cages.
As much as I'd love to show off my titanium *********, it's not as brave as it sounds. I don't fight the car down the track and I lift if ANYTHING doesn't feel right. If you see my 8.9 passes, they all look very boring. The car goes straight as an arrow and the track prep is always there for me or I wont go down the track. I also wont make a full power pass right after a clean up. I know, I know, none of that replaces a cage but I'll be fine.

Just be careful pushing her that hard.......Good luck!

ok so youve got your starting weight, now add 30lbs for an 88mm turbo, 25lbs for the OPs 6 inch thick FMIC, add at least 100lbs for a rear axle that will hold 1000+ whp, drive shaft, tubular suspension and chassis mods, hot and cold side pipes, huge wheels and tires, a big block, , , ,
do you get the idea now?

oh so your about 3450 lol, I was thinking 3800lbs without u....and to the other guy there is no way that rear weighs 100lbs heavier, and tubular suspension mods reduce weight...
btw why dont you try to take some weight outta the car, lightweight carpet, remove abs, cruise control, airbags, heater box, etc. the list goes on...theres 2 ways to skin a cat and just the few items i listed are worth atleast 1 tenth
