I see maybe 50 lbs I can get out of mine for my next outing, 4th gen style. That seat weight in the list, leather or cloth? Mine is 1SS and cloth.

Mine is a cloth 1SS seat.

Remove the crash support from both front and rear? Seriously?

LOL, hp only gets you so far. I ran faster with bolt ons than your zl1 does stock even though you make much more power than I did. Its about getting the most out of what you have, not just throwing a bunch of parts at it.

He's going more race car than street car, and low 10's are hard in a heavy tank. Let us know when you run low 12's.

Just under 3/4 tank of E85... mind you this car has A/C, a stereo, and a legal rollbar. I think with lexan rear window, the BMR kit, and 1/4 tank it will roll on the scales at 3390.

Pro Stock John · 09-30-2012, 03:00 PM

Is that without driver?

pouncer72 · 09-30-2012, 03:00 PM

yes

Any ideas how much drop from stock L99 exhaust setup to aftermarket? I already have longtubes and cats, so talking about that big resonator to the tips.

Sounds like the jerry cans are 30 lbs each, and one of the mufflers I like is only 15 lbs. That big resonator contraption looks heavy though.

Bad70supreme · 10-03-2012, 01:55 PM

I know the reso's on from my ls3 were pretty heavy, I didnt think the cans wiegh all that much though. A one piece drive shaft and light wheels would make a killer difference!

pouncer72 · 10-03-2012, 02:12 PM

My one piece isnt any lighter then the stock driveshaft. Maybe a half pound, but nothing significant. Wheels are big though

Mikes SS · 10-19-2012, 11:41 AM

Anyone ever figure out how much the fenders and doors weigh?
