Great looking build AC and it should be wicked fast, I'm supposed to be dropping my car off tomorrow to get my build started. So hopefully I'll have everything finished by the time the tracks open in March/April.

Thanks guys!

Think Im going to order a Burkhart front bumper support 2morrow to help with weight, then pull the airbags, front speakers, pull the heater box when the motor comes out. Still debating on the door bars. Once thats done Ill get a rear bumper support, and start looking at front drag brakes and Kirky racing seats. Theres still some random stuff I need to take out also. Im not going to cut up the car at all so any other ideas On how I could save some more weight??

you can always do speedglass, lighter wheel setup, smaller battery, etc. I would keep the door bars (just in case). Not worth the 5lbs or so IMO

Keeping the factory glass. Light weight battery will happen, the rims/tires arent the lightest but much lighter than stock and I street drive the car so not looking at bogarts or anything like that.
