Hmmm... Sounds like I, as well as the car, need to go on a diet, I weigh about 260~270 lol... I plan on gutting out the car, it's currently a SE model w/o sunroof (thank god!) which I plan on downgrading to a base model, luckily, I have a friend who has a base model and wants all my power accessories, so if/when we finally get around to doing the swap I can weigh all the parts and post that up. I do have a 4.36 final drive to help with the lack of power, and I don't plan on going lexan anytime soon but maybe in the distant future that would be a possibility.The car is currently a rolling shell and I plan on getting it running in stock trim so I can learn the characteristics of the car being that this is my first S chassis and first RWD car.
