So I think it's absolutely hillarious when I drive to work in the morning in the cobra and I get the head wave....you know the same kinda of head wave when a guy finds some hot tatas or a$$ walk'n down the street you see the head follow the object. Well, it happened this morning. I was going down the residential street and all the high school kids were walk'n to school and a group of 3 of them heard me com'n and full on turned around and did the head wave. I felt speical. :)
Oh BTW, on top of me still learning how to work the cobra/clutch on hills I have found that I can't drive a stick with a CD or radio turned up....I have a tendancy to stall. Lol, I can't hear the engine and where it catche engages. I have issues don't I?

Don't sweat it Alexis. I do it all the time. The stereo loud and I over rev/almost stall the start. I've been doing that since 1972. ;)
If anyone else says they don't do it, is a plain an simple lier. Hearing the revs is important.:D

If you can hear your stereo over your exhaust note, there's something wrong with your exhaust system.

Hey, I have 250 watts going to just the back speakers. Since i can't rev over 4,500 rpm -- the stereo is louder. :crutches::suicide::huh::(

I had 1K watts in the Vette once upon a time. Took it out for the weight, stuck it in my Neon. It's kind of funny to hear my Neon go boom boom, I really only turn it up to joke around.

Weight? Who cares about weight? I have two amps, three monitors (my daughters have to be able to watch Star Wars on trips) and a sub. One of the amps is putting 300 watts rms to a 10 sub the other is putting out 280 rms to the front and rear speakers and this is the way I drag race it.
Your Vette is a lot lighter than my Cobra is. I want here your stereo bumping the next time you take your car to the track.

Who cares about weight? It's all about power to weight ratio. Ever heard of a Lotus Elise? The car with a Celica engine that can own a Viper.

Actually, a car with the same power to weight ratio but lower total weight will almost always out perform a car with the greater weight. This is why cars with relatively low power to weight (like the Elise) will eat up much more powerful cars in relative terms; the simply can carry far more speed through corners. Of course there is a lot to do with the balance of the chasis. But more weight means more inertia, means greater resistance to change in direction. This is why I think if the next generation Vette has a smaller engine with less power, but comes in at say 2,400 lbs with the same total power:weight as the current Vette, it be a major improvement.

Are you planning on only racing your Vette? If so, then I can see worrying about the extra 50 pounds in stereo equipment. My Cobra is a daily driver so I don't care about the weight. Besides it handles really well even with the extra weight.

Yeah, 50lbs of sprung weight (unsprung is quite different) ain't shit in a powerful car, unless you're talking *real* racing.

It ain't the 60lbs I saved from the Sub/ box or the 5 lbs from the amp, or the 10lbs from the rear speakers. It's the 60lbs here, the 40lbs there, the 2 lbs over here, the 13lbs out back, the 120lbs up there... it all adds up! If you want to lose the weight, trim the fat off of every corner.

Or just find a cute little 90lb girlfriend that knows how to shift. I can use her as my jockey at the track. Haha. but seriously, I'd never let a girl drive my car. :sm_laughing:

Back in 1974 my girlfriend was 110 lbs. She could power shift ALMOST as good as I could. We made a lot of money with her driving. I let her go cruising all the time with her sister. The stories she used to come back with were great.
She never broke the car.
When she took the Vette, she left me a 71 Pinto to drive.:laugh:
