Well, it sounds like there are some nay sayers which is cool. I and the shop worked hard on the weight cutting as well as putting a small fortune into the motor alone
($40K+). As far as the weight the car was a Euro no AC, one side mirror no sunroof car to start. all the usual weight cutting was done, plus fiber glass front and rear bumpers, lexan rear three, PMBs alloy rear brakes, no antenna, wipers, heat, no insulation what so ever, seats, RS carpet, Hoosier tires which are light, 15 inch rims, I have no clue what ER and after market suspension parts save, but the ounces add up to pounds. The weight shown is what the car weighed when done.
The HP is right off the dyno... I did not hold back on the motor build starting with a Chambone crank which is either 4lbs or 6 lbs lighter than the stock crank, cant remember which right now, GT3 oil pump, pauter rods, 993SS cams, extreme did the heads 38mm intake and Exh, LN jugs, true 7:65 to 1 compression, twin plugged, solid tensioners, Brian's headers and K27/29 at 1 Bar, I am using Meth injection and a whole boat load of experimenting with fueling, modded fuel heads, euro fuel lines, different fuel heads (thanks Brian). im leaving out a lot of the small details, like case work, Supertech studs, 908 tins, etc, etc but that all adds up.
