Default Track WEIGHT

Just a little info for those putting thier Camaro's on a diet: gas weighs 6 lbs per gallon (about 72 lbs in the total fuel system. When @ the track, have a 1/4 tank or less, please) Back seat weighs 25 lbs, windshield wiper fluid weighs 8 1/3 lds pers gallon, (holds about 2 gallons?) Z28 owners with after market "SS" hoods made from fiber glass will will slim down a little. But my question is, I live in Florida where there are no emissions test, so I leave my exhust cut out wide open all the time, should I take off my FlowMaster exhaust to save weight, or will it look wierd. I spent $150 on custom stainless steel exhust tips, it would kind of seem like a waste for the tips, but whatever, it's one weekend in South Beach! I'm guessing you could probably save another 20 - 25 lbs by taking you spare tire, and "jack" out. With all this slimming down, you'll be much closer to the weight of a Vett. Good luck, and lets see those time slips. I also need help posting pics thanks SSpilot
