this.
what i run at 2500ft DA corrected i'd be running 11s, but i never see that corrected number at -500ft da because im spinning half way down the track at either DA. it gives a good ball park but people shouldnt be using them as bragging rights as people here often do.

you must not get out much.
run on street tires, a cold friday night at island.
its all about the tire. perhaps you think im insinuating its the power or bragging.
just giving an example take it or leave it.

i gotta admit though.....i couldn't get the low 12's outta my gt on the street tires......but i still didn't spin half way down the track either.......i knew how to not let that happen.

thats what i thought it was gonna weigh too... but it didnt. That scale is dead accurate too. No options to reduce weight from the factory. I also notice all the 5.0s weigh the same according to ford... different wheels, brakes, seats, sound systems, nav, etc...

Ya they said my base manual was 3680. Put on scale and it was actually 3540 with 1/4 fuel and shipping weight was actually 3433. A little stuff and it was down to weighing 3580 with me in it. I'm 205lbs. Seats alone have major weight. Power seats with leather weigh 84lbs. Base seats all manual weigh 47lbs. Rear seats are about 14lb difference. Manual tranny.to auto think was like 100lbs cause of tranny cooler and lines.

I should be able to drop a solid 200 lbs out of it with just changing mods. Driveshaft, wheels, tires, headers (no cats from factory cats), front cradle and a arms. Wheels and tires alone will drop 110lbs. Im 160lbs. Race weight of 3450 in something that should make around 450whp (my dyno, makes roughly 405 now), should be a pretty stout setup. In addition to all the "go fast" tricks

i like the brakes.. not turning it into a straight line only car. I would have bought a GT if that was the case. i like my turns and stuff too

and yea....i see your point about ford reporting them all the same weight......i would have to imagine the 19's that come with the brembo package must weigh a bit more than the standard 18's......and the calipers & rotors gotta be heavier too.......
i won't be doing anything intended to lighten my car though. when i get around to hitting the track with her.....she runs what she runs at her weight. if i don't like it, i'll add power.
