I did not realize that nit pickers would be lurking, which I was waiting for. The torinos were modified, with the steel tubing replaced with aluminum bracing and hardware with reupholstering dropping their weight to just under 21lbs each with the seat rails, and the rotors were drilled/slotted H.D. high grade directional curved vane custom made from an F1 series originally made for an LS-1 config, and a complete set of billet aluminum custom rotor hats. We did not play around, and had access to a machining shop...But yes, in a standard situation, you are right!
