It's been right at 4600 lbs with me in the car, but it may be a bit lighter come October... I'm thinking about the chrom-moly tube for the cage... And we are going to remove some un-needed items... A/C for one... Extra airbags etc...

Straight centri's or turbos are out on this car.
You need to come back and push the record with your car a little. If you go to 19"s the tires are much shorter and you may need another gear. I think you would do the best with the 20" toyo's on the stock rims.....much, much better traction than the goodyears and close to the same tire height. Plus if you don't come out there is a good chance I'm going to beat your record....I just can't see you standing for that....lol.
Hoosier has a new DOT road racing slick out... 315/xx/19 that is 28.9 inches tall... Same tire I'll be running... .4 inches taller than factory...

Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall.
Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

If you can turn, you ain't going fast enough...
