I do know weight is obviously a negative in drag racing and there seems to be alot of extra weight left in that car! My neighbor has a tube chassis alcohol car he drag races and one day he went through the car cutting off every bolt 3 threads past the nut or whatever the bolt went through and he filled two folgers coffee cans that weighed 41 pounds! Seemed excessive to me but I guess pulling a .96 60ft it all has to be done at every level!

For the NHRA classes that the COPO will run in, rules require a full interior, even the headliner. Just like the Mustang Cobra Jet and Challenger drag pack. It is competitive in terms of weight.

While I agree it's an awesome drag car, I think 90k is a little impractical to get something that isn't street legal.. grats on finding something to spend your money on though.

Style.

Sure you can strip the interior, but then it begins to look less and less like a factory car.
