How to loose 100kg on the Camaro - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Mustang 5.0 3605 lbs = 1638.6 kg
Camaro ss 3860 lbs = 1754.5 kg

I guess the mustang is just a little faster be cause of the weight, so what would you loose, to get 100kg of the camaro without loosing comfort in the Camaro.

How bout the driver?

I wouldn't lose a thing I love it the way it is, heavy and all. Actually I would like to add the weight of a spare tire and jack.

Mufflers, backseat delete, carbon fiber hood trunk, racing seat(s) instead of factory- or you could search one if the 16 dozen threads on this already

In all fairness he did say to toss both the wife & the girlfriend out, surely that'd be close to 212pounds? if not more (kilo -> pounds is confusing)

You're forgetting the engine.

What I've done (or got planned) so far:

21 lb Braille Battery: -25lbs
Headers, High Flow Cats, Cat-back Exhaust: -50 lbs
18" Rims and tires (streetable but mainly for racing): -40 lbs
Misc stuff (trunk stuff, engine covers, etc.) = -25 lbs

So that's 140lbs.

For race days when I trailer, I'll remove the passenger seat and rear seats, probably close to 70 lbs.

Well before you drop the weight in the camaro...I'd have to find a stock mustang (besides a GT500) that is faster...
