I didnt say that was gonna take off 500 lbs. I was just giving him some ideas on reducing weight while keeping the car street legal and not looking all messed up. Don't be calling me a mororn you ****ing *** nugget.

Actually, It's my spreadsheet. But I'm always looking for validation from people who are cutting out weight. So please, give me some feedback. But, unless you have actual weights, don't bother, I can guess with the best of them..

Tony's right, Most of the interior stuff weights almost nothing. I weighed many of the items in the spreadsheet when I ripped one car apart and put it into another shell. I was most disappointed that the hood didn't weight 75# like GT racing said it did. And the fiberglass hood weighed almost 25#. I understand that the undercoating under the car and the sound deadener under the carpet can weigh quite a bit. But, now you're talking some serious tennis elboe getting it off the car. But it's cheap and won't affect anything but the noise level inside the car. It's all about trade-offs.

Sure, as soon as I fix the link, it stops working. Give it an hour and John will have gone to bed... It must be 2:20am Rennlist time.. He has to sleep sometime.

87Porsche951,
Sorry dude.
My apologies. I thought my post would be clearly perceived as tongue-in-cheek. I figured most folks had read some of the drivel posted by the DSM guys on the Evo thread. Bad joke.
Sorry dude.
