Weight Question?
Weight Question? Does anyone know whats the lightest you can strip an F body and still be able to have it as a daily driver? So A/C has to stay.! I just want a # or average that i can concentrate on workin on.
Depends how far your willing to go. Do you plan to keep all your factory safety equimpent too? My car is a daily driver in the summer and it's about 3150lbs (with skinnies on the front, not much of an exhaust, & 1/2 tank of gas). No A/C, but you can add exaclty 30lbs for that. Pretty much no factory safety equimpent left, I still have to pull the door bars, airbags, strip the insulation on the fire wall, and a few other things. 
GM do you think you could give me a list of the things you deleted to get to that weight? I would definitly like to pick at it. I wanna know what a lite F boday can do.
Off the top of my head here's a list of what I can remember. First the car has absolutly no power options (not sure what it weighed when I started). No front impact bar, front sway bar, windsheild washer resvoir, emisions equipment, insulation under the carpet, rear seats, factory seat belts, spare tire/jack and I'm sure there are a couple of small items I'm missing. Alot of my mods is what helped save weight too. Things like, light seats, ASP pulleys, long tubes, lack of a real exhaust, QA1 shocks, aluminium rod end LCAs and PHB and skinnies for the track (50lbs total). Also my 6 pt roll bar added 75lbs.
I have no idea what the car runs N/A because I have never made an N/A pass. I would guess mid to low 12s at the best.
