Re: got car weighed

That's a tad heavy.......but understandable if you have that much audio crap.....

If you have an auto, then yes go with the 3.73's - if it's a manual you have, go with 4.10's.

Re: got car weighed

If you want to have a fast car take that audio crap out. It's a waste of money anyway. Just my opinion of course.

Re: got car weighed

That audio crap your speaking of probably helps more than it hinders.. It's in the rear and over the rear.. Sounds like a good place for weight.. If your that concerend with it get a glass hood and fenders, alum. heads, Tubular K-member and a-arms.. loose weight in the front.. make her squat in the rear!!!

My 1995 Z28 4A with a full tank of fuel and my 260 pounds in it was 3,780 at the track a couple weeks ago. That was as I drive it on the street.

the glass ss hoods weigh more than the stock one. the fenders are already plastic, and the head are already aluminum

Re: got car weighed

3700 pounds with my 250 pound lard *** sitting in it and 1/3 of a tank of gas. Car is a 1995 M6 with leather, t-tops, power everything, spare tire/jack, absolutely no weight reduction. When I race I ususlly have a full tank of gas and other junk in the car, so race weight is ~3750 or so. Damn these cars are heavy.
