Re: Ways to cut weight
Also read up on posts in the drag racing section at www.firebirdv6.com

These guys are getting like 3000 lbs RACE WEIGHTS!!! with like 2800 lbs car weights...

Re: Ways to cut weight
myslowcamaro: If thats what you read, then it was a mis-print or a typo. Seriously. I've done a whole helluva lot of research into weight reduction, and swapping from all stock to tubular front upper and lower control arms AND a tubular k-member will save you 50# tops. And even thats probably a generous estimate. Just tubular upper and lower control arms might get you 20-25#
