Show me where I was whining, you're the one throwing a mini-man fit over me calling your car swiss cheese (and then your proving me right with your own picture). It's ok to admit you were wrong, adults do it all the time.

Show me where I said or even mentioned aftermarket k-members. You brought that up to deflect from the discussion at hand. I'm not going to research it now, but Ill be glad to admit if I'm wrong- I believe the aftermarket k-members are sold as "off-road only". At the very least they don't make any claims about crash worthiness.

Edit: And, are you saying that when you took a hole saw to your stock k-member (even if it isnt in the car anymore), you did just as much R&D as UMI or BMR does on their k-members? You have gone from throwing a fit about how your car isnt swiss cheese to trying to justify the fact that it is swiss cheese. Bravo.
I did more than holesaw my k member. So this is where you fail again by concentrating on the holes. You see you have no clue....you just bitch.

I mentioned aftermarket k's after you got on your high horse talking about this ****. I bet you've emailed them to chat about structural analysis and the results of crash testing them.......because you have me now so why wouldn't you them.

Again, all I did was call your car swiss cheese and you have spent the last ~4hrs unsuccessfully trying to say its not... You know you could have used all this time to put your car up on some scales and actually prove someone wrong instead of looking like a fool over and over. But Im not one to judge what someone else wants to do with their time. You do you, little buddy!

His car is not swiss cheese. I been around it,driven in it etc numerous times. You can drive it anywhere with the ac on and in traffic. Only thing I would have done different is leave airbags and stock seats.

I believe it, at this point I am just amazed how salty he gets from one comment. The only reason I made the comment is he tried to downplay his weight even though he has some of the most extensive weight reduction you can do while still keeping some creature comforts. For someone that likes to do nothing but dog other people and their builds, he might want to grow some thicker skin...

More proof you're nothing but a bobble head idiot is you've done gave like 4 different weights on your rag. This tells me youv6never weighed and don't know wtf it weighs.....you're now mouth95.

You act like a 87 gt car is really gonna carry some extra weight. Where the **** is this extra weight in a 87? It's not a 90s fox gt with extra weight of the body kit.....it's not like it has larger brakes.....it's not like it has some yuge sway bars. The difference in yours and mine is power windows and a hatch that weighs about 60lb more and that's on the high side. You simply don6know your way around a fox if you can't get a aluminum headed h/c hotrod one on a drag pak to less than 3k lb.

Here's what mines weigh......no bs like you carry with you.

Yep, as suspected you ducked 95% of my post I haven't bought any parts for the intention of WR on this car, the only thing close is the wheels I just got and I weighed them and they lost a whopping 3 pounds per wheel I know exactly what it weighed stock and it's pretty easy to come within the ballpark of the weight by looking up the weight of parts I'm using compared to stock. I know math is hard when 7th grade is as far as you made it, don't hurt yourself.

Don't let the other facts in my post keep you up at night

I bet when you guys fly you whine to the pilot about the weight reduction techniques in the plane.
A couple pages ago you were arguing with people that 90% of foxbodys are extremely light from the factory. And you were using your foxbody as an example to back up that claim... except that it has holes in it everywhere... Which you just admitted above.

So basically, your foxbody is light because of the holes and weight reduction you’ve done to it or previous owner did to it. Not because it came that light from the factory.

Foxbodys are light from factory compared to today’s cars. And the early foxbodys were light af from the factory for any day’s standards.

Dropped air pressure in tires and better burn out.

I really need to look into doing something to keep the car from wheel hopping. Any suggestions?
