its pretty much stock as a clock body wise. stock wheels and all. it weighed in at 1930lbs in the front and 1480 in the rear. wich is a total of 3410lbs. i did some online calculators and it seems to have 350 wheel hp. the best time to date is a 8.000 @ 88mph.

thats without me and probably 3/4 tank of gas. i gues race weight would be around 3600lbs. thats with me and 1/4 tank. just guessing. im thinking about taking the a/c out. it quit working. take the abs out. its messed up. and take the cruise out. the cable broke. maybe some odd and ends like the front bumper. not sure how far i would go with this car. its not my race car.

be very careful. weight reduction can become very addicting. once you start, it is hard to stop. my car ended up at 27xx lbs. and that was with a mild steel 12 point roll cage.

It would have been nice to get the front and rear weights on my car for future mods. My silver Z is not the race ride that my white one is being made to be so i will get better diet numbers with that one. i am sure i can get her down to 2900 and still look like a driver
