Awesome progress. How much less do you think it'll be with the new drag brakes and racestars on?

Not one hundred percent sure. Under 3100 for sure. I sold the racestars, I will be racing on the 18s.

Yep, they are on there. The Z06s are what I picked. Racestars were heavy as **** so they werent worth running IMO.

That's interesting I didn't know racestars were that heavy. What tire will you run on the 18s in the rear?

Glad to see it is not just me who weighs weight loss items on a bathroom scale.

Well, at the end of the day it's about the weight of the car, not really how much each item weighs. i didn't get over technical about weighing since it was just for curiosity sake. Now that I have a curb weight I will be weighing each item from here on out carefully so I know how much to deduct. However, I have a front and rear weight due to the fact of where I was parked on the scale. Since it rounds to 20s that compounds the rounding. If I ever take it back I will park on one section only.
