There the only ones I have and i cant go any smaller that a 17 on the front. I have some 16in tran am wheels with M/T ET street on them. I just bought. they rub the inside of the back fender when i trun so i dont drive on them.

I have two speakers in the front.

the bar on front of the gas tank
the trailer hitch
the bar that the trailer hitch bolted to
the skid plate
and i am sure i left something out.
That is not 400lbs...

Did you weigh everything you took out? I can almost guarantee you didnt if you think thats 400lbs out. You're going to need much more than that.

The back seats in the GTO's are light as hell.. Not even worth taking out IMHO, foam doesnt weigh much, I dont think a trailer hitch counts, because I dont think thats a standard option... Thats just getting the thing back to where it came from the factory (please correct me if i'm wrong but I dont think that was an option from GM), neither does the ball or the bar that it connected to, skid plates arent much either.. speakers.. Maybe 10lbs.... Not seeing it man.

Including the tires and jacks, I'd say 150lbs.. And thats being generous IMHO.

Damn GTOkid. my buddy in a bolt-on mach 1 lost by 4 or 5 cars to a cobra with similar mods. He also beat a ls2 GTO with close to the same mods you have.

What mods have you done since we last raced? i remember when we raced you had 3k stall, cai, exhaust "work", ported tb, and no back seats. Had you by a car but close race.

Either way, great kill!

****, give the guy a break. I own an 04 and owned an 03 cobra, i will tell you this, the race "should not" have gone that way, but in the streets with so many variables, its pretty much a coin toss. If both were being driven to their full potential, no doubt a terminator will win, but hey, since you were there and none of were, then good kill(s) regardless of what the bench racers here say

Maybe he was in the wrong gear on the roll. That evens up a race real quick. Oh well, you won he lost. BTW, thats not 400lbs. Were you on a full tank of gas once time and bone dry the next?

You guys go race each other with a vid. If the GTO is so light and with more pwoer, he should yank the t/a.
