That's funny. I was talking to someone with a fox body today. He is a 1000 pounds less makes less power and is almost a second faster than I am :ROFLMAO: Really puts it in perspective.

Had mine on a scale the other day and was surprised it came in at around 4200 lbs without me in it. Thought I read somewhere that’s where the new 170 weighs in with all the weight saving tricks.

Maybe with driver. Our challenger r/t with just a drag pack weighed under 4000. I can't believe it is that light. It does have heated seats but they are cloth

Thats a lie. You said you made it lighter this year:unsure:
That was at MIR for the MSHS race last year. first round weigh in. I was able to shed the weight of the ice tank, and got me one of them fancy batteries like you.

Going through a few of my vids looking for things to share and found this little gem. My belt tensioner decided to check out on this one and I had to get pushed off the track. Watch till the end!

lol, no shit on the weight. Didn't help your guys that they were pushing on big wrinkled tires I'm sure. had the same thing happen to me years ago in a SC GTO as I was lighting up a Corvette at around 0330 on an I-10 access road. Fortunately, it had just split the belt, still had about 1/4 of the ribs left. Motor would still run but a dark Home Depot parking lot became my pit. Towed the car in the end.

Keep up the good work.

how much do you have in the car, dollar-wise, if you don't mind my asking?
