why wouldnt he be serious........depends on how much of a weight difference, but I would expect the all non-power to be a little quicker because it will weigh a little less. Depends how much of a weight difference (and I don't know those numbers), but typically you will lose a tenth off your et for each 100 lbs removed.

Both window motors and electrical stuff = 15 pounds
ttops = 5 or 10 pounds
speakers = 5 pounds
leather seats = 25+ maybe pounds


maybe some other things i cant think of!!


but thats a good estimate!!

You also have the motors for the power seats, it probably is around .05 which could be all it would take to win, although i like my power leather seats

Both window motors and electrical stuff = 15 pounds Except that the manual window hardware is heavier, sure
ttops = 5 or 10 pounds Okay, I can see this one
speakers = 5 pounds My speakers weigh 3 pounds or so a piece, so this may or may not be accurate
leather seats = 25+ maybe pounds Come on now, vinyl over foam weighs 25 pounds more then carpet over foam? I doubt there's a single difference
