150mph?

I don't know Sebring but a gt3 at/near cupcar weight will brake better and turn better and exit faster with less weight. Pretty nite and day. My near stock gt3 I feel the weight slowing me down. Drove mooty's stripper it's oh god- a beast unleashed. Mike

I have not weighed it, but the a/c comes out soon, even though its nice when I am sitting on the grid here in south florida. After that about all that is left to lighten is the wiring harness I guess. I wil have it at a new (for me) race shop in July to re-do the gears for Sebring and plan on weighing it then.

It will never be done, it is always evolving. Here it is at the track recently. with my 2010 RS that we use to shuttle form the track to the hotel and back.



Here it is at another event, about to pass another Z06 in the red group.

Please use audio when you watch this. It should answer the OP's question:
