Honestly I have no goal... I just hope it isn't heavier than it was when we started. The turbos and block alone added over 100lbs to the build 10pt cage, Water IC tank, heavy *** IC in front of radiator... All added weight.

Removed AC, ABS, Cruise Control, Traction Control, Rear Seats, replaced front seats with race seats that saved me about 90lbs. BS3 replaced stock computer and harness, Race carpet will get installed, smaller lighter more efficient radiator. And the exhaust ends at the front seats and I'm sure its all lighter than stock.

Should be interesting... I personally am hoping for 3650 without me in it. Car weighs roughly 3750 stock...

Good cant wait to see them. I think you vs the c6 turboed vette would be a good run. What kind of power do you think the car is making?

Theres much faster cars in our area than that and I am much more interested in running those cars. But I'm sure I will run James Vette at one point or another. I have a bone to pick with a certain TT Ford GT in Jacksonville...

You talking about the Ford GT? He is actually really cool, I met him a couple times when I lived in Jax. And his car makes more like 1400rwhp! Nothing against the guy... I just really wanna race him!

Kudos on getting your car up and running finally. I can't watch the video, but if you have any pics post them up.

The last thing I heard about that car is that he broke the crank in it and it was sitting. Granted I've been out of the loop for a while. Your cars are really different too. He does a lot of high end roll races because the thing gets zero traction.
