I'd love to have an under 5 second time! I wonder what the ceiling is as far as lightening the 79 SC to try and improve the 0-60 times. For instance, If I got ligher wheels, race seats, removed all the power mirror and windows, A/C... Running a 3.0 with the 74 911 OEM Exhaust and muffler, no air pump, short shift.. How low is the lowest times I could get down to. I mean I still have the CIS, and tame cam. Seems I would hiit a wall eventually. (not physically , I mean I'd hit a point where there is no more benefit to being any lighter) I kept hearing about changing the Gearing but I hear that if I do that i'll have weaker gears and the potential to break them is increased. Even if the Corvette engine is not a 0-60 monster, I bet the 0-100 would be incredible. I could just see taching out 1st then hitting the long second gear and the pull would be comparable to a turbo ...
