Off on the weight, you realize how much Ive taken off?
Ive taken off: Huge steel vacuum tank/ frame member Tank mounting hardware and brackets Steel bumper was cut in half, bumper behind license plate removed Front turn signals and metal brackets removed Front urethane bumper exchanged with lighter fiberglass bumper Rear urethane bumper exchanged with fiberglass Both bumpers bonded in and metal mounting flanges removed, front and rear AC compressor & surprisingly heavy mounting brackets removed AC condenser & lines and related components removed Aluminum radiator replaced steel unit Mechanical fan, clutch, and shroud removed Aluminum water pump replaced iron unit Power steering pump and mounting hardware removed Power steering Control ram and related hoses and lines removed Smog pump and mounting hardware removed Steel AIR injection lines removed EGR removed Aluminum fuel pump Alarm system and horn removed Rear speakers removed Ebrake replaced with lighter Mustang ebrake Steel console support removed Console replaced with custom fiberglass Seats replaced with lighter seats Seat tracks removed and seats bolted to the floor Headliners removed and mounting flanges shaved off Front suspension lighter... but rear spring heavier, so thats a wash AND OH YEAH... Aluminum T56 replaced the automatic trans Aluminum Pro 5.0 shifter (prob not lighter, but damn I love that thing) :) Centerforce flywheel replaced the TC Iron heads replaced with aluminum heads Iron intake replaced with aluminum intake Aluminum pistons :p (Prob not even enough to compensate for the crank) Iron manifolds replaced with steel long tubes Heavy ass 70s catalytic converter is obviously history Stock mufflers replaced with bullets Stock dual y pipe exhaust tubing was heavier, but with the dual 3" its probably a wash Lighter alloy wheels replaced the stock steel wheels Lower profile tires (rubber is heavy...) Full size spare, and underbody spare tire carrier and lock removed AND COMING SOON TO A STREET RACE NEAR YOU... Lighter Z51 calipers and rotors in my garage to replace the heavy ass iron 4 piston units |
Why don't you just go and weigh it? The Cobra weighs 3442 with a fuel tank of gas but without me in it. I said the Chevelle weighs 3500 but it actually weighs 3520 with me in it and about 5 gallons of fuel. If I remember correctly, the Explorer weighed 4700 but I can't remember.

How? Im not driving my vette to the junkyard. Thats asking for paint/ body damage
|
There are places you can go to weigh the car. When I worked in Anaheim years ago there was a place right down the street on Ball road. Check around.
|
Get it weighed at Schorr Metals, about 5 minutes from where you live. There's a gas station right there. Tank up first. Cost is like 10 bucks and scale is +- 10lbs. I'm 3,100 full wet. Measured, not guessed. I have a lot more aluminum and composites than you do.
837 S Kraemer Blvd, Placentia, CA You're also off on HP, but I only want to break one of your balls at a time. |
Schorr metals will do it?
And I dont think you believe Im off on hp, in my hp guessing thread you guessed high. I think youre just taunting me. Simpler solution, organize a free dyno day. If Bird could do it with a bunch of 200 hp C3s, you can do it with thrice the potential customers who all have thrice the horsepower. Gooo Ben! Gooo Ben! Gooo Ben! Gooo Ben!!!! |
PS, you also have a lot more smog equip, bumper hardware, and AC than I do :p

Is Adam really suggesting I spend countless hours organizing a massive car event so he doesnt have to spend $60? Yes, yes he is... Hahah

Bird has old timey connections that I don't. I could put together a cheap day, but not a free one. |
