Broaner is an unknown quantity at this point
For those who didn't believe my car could be that light.



That was with a full 13 gallons in it. So trackday race weight with me in should be right at 2260. 1/4 mile race weight should be under 2200lbs because of only having 4 gallons in the tank.

I still have some wiring and sound deadening to remove and possibly windows and gutting the door skeleton. But that should amount to no more than 50lbs. 10lbs of the roll cage is already installed. The rest should weigh between 150 and 200lbs. That will bring me back to somewhere around 2300. That is without an composite materials or significant efforts made in weight saving in other areas. Little thing like aluminum driveshaft and such could add up to bring me back below 2300lbs. I'm not really aiming for that but if it happens cool. Its not really a big deal anyway though because SM minimum weight is 2500 so it'll all be gained back in ballast.

Since people keep asking I guess I should say I do sidework. Regular stuff to motor swaps if you desire. PM me.
