Not only am I impressed with the look, but it saved 40 lbs on the front and 14 lbs off the rear. If I yank the front seat that puts my vehicle race weight at :

2,996 lbs


Plus 200 for me, but I'm stoked to have it under 3 grand. A lot sweat and blood went into finding all the crap on this car that didn't need to be there. I still have some opportunities like seats, but I'm stoked.

Finally! A great looking stang that's light as hell and not a fox :bigthumb I'm a huge fan of V8 cars under 3K pounds. What all has been stripped?

The gone for good list:
complete trunk delete
sound deadening material scrapped out
all foam and plastic lining from inside the rear interior panels
carpet padding and fire wall material out
front sway bar delete
some plates from under the dash on the driver side
vapor canister
quad shocks
front and back inner bumpers and all brackets
rear seat delete, includeing all rear seat belts (kit installed)
inner fenders from the front
some plastic blocks from the rear wheel well
dog bone from the pumpkin
EGR delete

Weight saving parts
PA racing k-member, a-arms w/ QA1 coil overs
aluminum drive shaft
Greg Weld rims
HO fibertrendz hood


I think that's it for now. Still rolling cold air and music...for now. Seats will probably be my next purchase; Kirkey's.

And yea, Greg Weld did make a 15x10 rim. They went under though, so it might be hard to find them.

I work in Franklin, so it's a posability.

Dayton Performance did the weight last year. Once I relocate the battery, I'll have them scale it again so I can see the bias and get an official weight.

I weighted it at E20 twice after I ran it and once it said 3640 and the other time 3575 with me in it and I did'nt change anything:screwy: The Cat scale by my house said 3460 without me in it and I weigh between 145-150.

Either way it is a big old pig:lol:
