Had i not extensively upgraded the chassis im sure it would scare the shit out of me
I might have another 100lbs total relatively easy weight to reduce. but I can't get down as far as you without really going nuts. However, the good part is that a huge amount of that is unsprung, so the benefits are substantial. I still dig my radio, A/C, etc., I'm looking for a sexy, but relatively comfortable cruiser/brawler with both straight line and handling performance. A por mans', American flavored, Ferrari if you will. I'll get there someday.
