I'll e-mail you some pics when it's done John. Everything (except doors) is out now...leaving the air bags until I can get a full cage (and will do a cup car roof skin then)...droped a ton of weight! You would NOT believe how much the carpet weighs!!

Dude, you are nuts! If I sell my cup car, I don't think my stock rs will hang with you if you are going crazy like this. Didn't you learn from grussel how much $$$ this will end up costing you?
Will you have it done for the Euroclassics event?

I ordered my car with zero options...107k (110,250 out the door)...9k for the JRZ Motorsports, springs, Plates etc...3k for the RSR parts (4 lower control arms, dog bones and toe links) another few grand for the roll cage, seats, video etc and I'm building the car. I wanted to start with a clean slate after my cup experience...should be a cool car when I'm done.

It looks like I am going to be in trouble. Maybe I should sell the cup and go nuts with the rs.
John, will you have it done for the Euroclassics event?
I can't wait to see how it does. How much weight have you pulled out?

Ofcourse I could just keep the rs pristine and get a base gt3 like you guys. why do you guys do this to me?
Then again, if the stock rs is within a second of johns modified car, maybe i will keep it stock. we shall see.

depends on customs...my shocks are being sent next day on Monday from the Netherlands ($274.00) and it will take me roughly two hours a corner plus the set up...was hoping to use Euroclasics to test and be ready to go for Synergy...hoping worst case I'm ready for Synergy event.

The trunk compartment is bare ala cup car... I put the cup bumper cover/tow hook on which means you loose the street car bumper weight and all the junk in the trunk. The carpet and all interior parts except the doors and air bags...added OMP cup car seats and removed rear center muffler and put in the GMG by pass pipe...I weighed the car before I started and I was around 3200...I'm thinking I'm under 3,000 lbs now.
