That's exactly my point, no internal mods, a few lbs less weight and voila you're doing sub 7 0-60 (and with the experiance you have of driving a stick, you're 16 right?), I don't think so. Craig, the thing is you assume stuff, I don't care what you've been told. Word your post as "I've been told that my paint is 70 to 100lbs lighter than stock, assuming that's true, etc. etc." and NOT "My car weighs 100lbs less because of the paintwork". What you've been TOLD is BS, I'm annoyed by you taking it as a fact, and posting it as such also. See if you worded your post as my first example, I would've responded: "that's total BS", and all would be well. With me? I hope so.
PS: Today I installed a new battery in my car that's 11.5 lbs lighter than what came out. I've removed my cat (I'm going to cut the housing open, and weld a straight pipe in when I get the time), gotten better tires/lighter rims, changed my spark plugs, and just saved 11+ more lbs since my last timed 0-60 run (I'm planning to remove the rotor shields, to construct a brake cooling kit in the next few weeks too while I'm at it, and I haven't forgotten the supercharger, will keep you guys updated). Does all this constitute a new 0-60 test? Hardly, why? Because all that probably don't add up to even .05 secs, be realistic.
