things should change now. Do you have any "other" weight out of the car?

Rear Seats Out: 50-70lbs
IRS Out: 100lbs (rough estimate)
Stock Hood Off: 10lb or more
I guess that is it, so I have taken out 150-200lbs probally....
In race trim, I will have mugh lighter wheels and tires (which is rotatinal mass, so it counts for more).....my street wheel/tire setup in total is about 50lbs lighter than stock
I want to take the AC out as well. I want my car down to around 3350-3400lbs. Next year I will do K-Member, A-Arms, etc

yeah dropping the front swaybar is essential... I wouldn't take out the A/C though, that keeps the car more streetable. Not to mention with this weather, it's needed.
The K-member will save you HUGE amounts of weight.

I was talking about the GT being an auto.Wasn't a fare shot for the GT.I know it doesn't compare to it's bigger brothers,but could have been more fare it it were a stick aswell,instead of the STOCK FACTORY slowmatic.
And believe me,i'm not stang illiterate.

We have a 00GT with a Novi 2000, Water Meth and Drag Suspension running 11.7's with the stock auto by putting the car in D and mashing the gas....shifts like a top
