OT: My latest speeds.
At 95 Degrees today I did some 0-60 runs and 1/4 mile runs.
Run 1: 6.94 Run 2: 6.94 Run 3: 6.90 Run 4: 7.01 (it stuttered on the the slight peel) All the 1/4 mile times were between 15.37-15.6 right around 89-92MPH |

Hopefully 7PSI boost system sometime soon... I'm guessing that'll throw me right around the 5.7-6.1 marker.

I went back out tonight, it was cooler, but my headlights had to be up unfortunately.
7.12, 7.0, 7.06, 7.16, and a few other low 7's. Well the paintjob I have on there is a FAIR ammount lighter than the original. I just lightened the normal stuff I guess you could say. -spare tire -jack -tools -sound deadeners -top half of back seat -heater blower motor -had the seats reupholstered from the OEM (it was all torn) and the material used is lighter, but not much ya know. -The new exhaust system is substantially lighter, I think 15LBS. -The new clutch disc is lighter hehe. -Also, my wheels only weigh 15LB a peice. They are lighter than Phone Dials (I have cast cookie cutters). The stereo system i put in is lighter than oem. I'm going to be getting it weighed sometime, I'll let you guys know the results. |

Hah, oh yeah not funny.
It is, the cd player weighs a good bit less than the OEM Radio. The speakers are lighter in the front as well. 5Lbs total maybe, but EVERY 5LBs counts? If I could drop 5lbs at every section of the car cheaply, I'd do it, wouldn't you? |

How about you get rid of the tailgate. Just ducktape a few trash bags around it. Better yet, use scotch tape, its lighter. Bust out the side windows too. Remove the automatic antenae if you have one.
