Default CF Decklid @ 4.5lbs

this is a truely extarordinary piece!!! On one side you have the Cup blade for some 500lbs of downforce, on the other side it couples with the cup intake. It provides RAM air function, and oh yeah ... it also acts an engine cover. For all this it only weight 4.5lbs !

How much does the stock lid weigh? will it work with the stock air box system?

Nice piece

He he ... I think may be DC Lee has more mods. It is certainly not my goal to be king of anykind, simply want to achieve as nearly as possible GT3 cup specs. in a street car (with full leather interior.) The mod after this is louvered Lexans (and rear window) to complete the aero package with the cup wing. Esitmated weight currently is about 2800lbs so long ways to go.


Z06 the stock decklid is 23lbs including wing. The cup wing is 4lbs, and the aluminum supports are about 1.5lbs.

I know...just teasing you. Until you drop the muffler's, you won't have a complete cup car...

You mean mufflers or cats? I run without mufflers about 70% of the time -- even on the street. I like DC Lee's setup much better. Only question .. is it loud enough?

I might have missed it on a previous post but have you ripped out all the carpets, trim and sound proofing?

Here are a couple of interior shots, first one prior to the console delete. It's a Cadilac baby!

The interior carpet stuff on a GT3 is probably worth 15lbs if that. Plus when you run the open pipes it must get loud as hell inside.

We should ask that guy with the stripped GT3 if he weighed everything in the interior.

It's not for weight. It's so it is easy to clean the vomit when you take a passenger out for a lap!
