I do not think adding 150-200 lbs overall is going to drastically change the car. I have lost 60 lbs myself and there is more weight to take out in the clutch and exhaust.

I am more interested in some standing 1/2 mile or standing mile events. I think it could be cool to just compete with the 175-185 mph guys. My dad just bought a C7 Z06 and it is a faster/better track car than this will ever be. The 6th gen Z/28 or ZL1 will be faster than this one too, but this one is just a really special car. We are trying to minimize the weight that we add, but there is no way around the sound damping material. It will end up as a much better end result (stereo and street-car wise) with a good install. We got a bunch of stuff done today so far.

Work in progress...We are going to pull most of the interior apart and do the floor and roof and back seat area too... I will try to take a ton more pictures to document everything.







These are just a few pictures along the way, still a work in progress. It made a huge difference already. We didn't use much material and it is really solid feeling now. ( less like an empty tin can )

No worries. I enjoy my radio w/ 12" sub aftermarket added as well when I leave the track.
