Weight

[CHEVYMAN434]

Anyone care to guess what my car weighed in at today.With no fuel and no driver.......Suprised me with all that has been taken out.....

[ForceFed4g63]

What car?

[Derek]

ill play 2600! higher or lower.

[CHEVYMAN434]

4th gen ss camaro.....

[1998ta__1991rs]

3350

[CHEVYMAN434]

Higher than Derek and lower than you....

[ForceFed4g63]

3150

[ShawnBoyMoody]

3100

[slowgreen99]

2940

[CHEVYMAN434]

Man,yall know what ya talking about for sure.It was at 3130...... I would have thought it was in the 2800 lb range for sure.I have had this thing disasembled 4 different times and took out piles and piles of shit....But i guess it needs to lose the heavy ass doors and glass...I think that would help a bunch......But its gonna be ready real soon if i dont start some weight reduction.I prob will bring it out and see if i like driving it.Should be pretty quick....

[Derek]

lmao just don't use your 45 to remove any weight.

[ForceFed4g63]

So what do I win, a ride in the beast? :D

[CHEVYMAN434]

I think i will prob jet some fiberglass doors and trunk lid from VFN...That should prob help out tremdously....I know that stuff is super heavy but a camaro is just heavy anyways...

[slowgreen99]

what scales was this on?

[LXtasy]

what scales was this on?

Are the scales certified?

[CHEVYMAN434]

I have a msd 2 step im not gonna use also if one of you guys needed one.....Whatever they sell for new i guess i would want half.Been used about 8 or 9 times

[CHEVYMAN434]

I guess,its the scales at RPM..I would prob think they were right...lol

[1iron]

Lighter than my Mustang.

[CHEVYMAN434]

So what do I win, a ride in the beast? :D

Sure,its got tags and i do plan on driving it around..Because it is a street car.......Just gonna have to sit in the back seat hole and hold on to the cage like a fair ride....lol

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Lighter than my Mustang.

Faster too! :poke:

[LXtasy]

Ask them if their scales are Lightning certified

[1iron]

Faster too! :poke:

Bring it out Sunday and get run over!

My car was 3340 with 1/2 tank of gas and full interior with my 6pt cage and 18" Fikse's. I was kinda disappointed too but I haven't cut anything out except the lower radiator support connecting the frames. Makes me wonder what in the hell people do to get down to around 26-2700.

[LXtasy]

They put v6s in them

[1998ta__1991rs]

You can get a stock appearing fbody down to 2800ish. It takes a lot of cutting and time

And the removal of most of the safety equipment, like door bars, bumper supports, airbags and then going to all tubular chrome moly suspension would be a good start. I've seen guys just go crazy with a hole saw. I've also seen guys claim they took out 50 lbs in wiring.

Details then please.. I have a lot of stuff that I could remove from the interior still like door bars, dash support, carpet etc.. But I don't want a hacked up car like that. I think I have removed basically all the unnecessary stuff already.

Is it the ls1 plug and play one?

[adamcs]

You would also think that they wouldn't burn cars to the ground either haha

[3stgstocker]

uh oh my days are numbered! lol glad 2 hear things are workn out now!!!!!!!

[djfury05]

Lol.. I've never come away from there 100% happy either and that's the only shop I've ever had my car at.

You must have missed alot, lol. Here is my car with (2) full 10lb nitrous bottles 1 gallon cell under hood, and 5 gallons of gas in back cell. I have all stock glass, hatch, carpet, two seats, console, stock door panels, stock dash, full 10pt cage, stock frame rails still, core support.

Its a little heavier now with turbo but am about to have a new light weight nitrous car out later this year. You must have an iron lsx block to be that heavy.

[CHEVYMAN434]

I will have to get on it when i get it back.I would guess next week,but i will see.I never have really tried to make it lighter but will be workin hard on it.I may call you for some pointers.Looks like i got my hp where i wanted it just not gonna run the numbers until i get the weight out of it.But i will be able to mess with it some to see if i like driving it,,so all is good....And Curtis,i cant run you guys right off,You the king right now and then no one will EVER race me.....That would leave me stiin on a pile of money that i couldnt do nothin with...Will just have to build the hype till the end of the year......But i am gonna clean up on a gang of mustangs,within reason.....lol...2 step is spoken for,,,,,,

Yeah,i didnt know they had a car catch fire.And you know really,i have had a bunch of hot rods and had some builds go bad.Hell i lost 18k on a engine one time in my mud truck.I understand it dont allways go good.But really i would rather it burn cause i got insurance for that.The way it was,i would have hit the wall and died....so f it,lets see what they can do.....

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Lol god help them if they fuck it up!

[CHEVYMAN434]

Ok wow,i just so happen to have a grand right here...Let me check on the shipping,thanks........

[minytrker]

Lots for work, it took a good year to get it that light. Will be bringing out a new nitrous car this year and hoping it is 2500-2600.

[1998ta__1991rs]

Can you remember the main heaviest stuff you removed or is it a secret

theres not a lot of real heavy stuff, but a lot of small stuff that adds up

[CHEVYMAN434]

[minytrker]

Don't tell everyone my secretes, lol. Nothing like cutting for 8 hours to only drop 5-6lbs.

[3stgstocker]

when did rpm have a car burn to the ground? i dont remember that. i remember madmans car that they bought later on caught on fire in the trailer with madman bc i sent them alot of the parts to fix it! and besides if they did im sure they have insurance to cover it. hell when u work on 5 to 10 ls cars a day everyday and have to wait a week or 2 for an open spot to get tuned somethings bound to happen over time!!!!!!!! RPM AND THE PEWTER COOTER TTFMF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL lorenz dont tell em all the secrets lol its got alot to do with the ballast resistors and removing the blinker fluid helps too lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
