Yep....take out that 11 lbs x10 and you probably have a half second.

I say paint over the glue, and the keep a couple of helium balloons taped to the roll cage to offset the weight of the paint.

That's how Tippy Turtle got a refund from the usps.

It would be nice, for once, to get a serious answer. If I can get to weight by FG bumpers, removing excess wiring, sunroof, AC, soundproofing (a lot of cars in stock class seem to have weights), are there other reasons to remove RS carpet or not put it in? I have a busy enough winter planned already...

It will if the car catches on fire and you're still in it....

Man,

You are not just slow on the track. You have stripped the car for the cage. People tell you that you no longer need to put the carpet in and you b!tch that you are busy. How NOT putting the carpet back in the car is more work?

AFA weight goes, it is not just the weight, but how it is distributed. People remove bumpers and sun roof to take the weight from up high and then add balast down low to make weight without consideration that they would have made weight without using FG bumpers, etc. So, hopefully you cleaned the crap under the carpet before going to Piper. Just paint the inside, so it looks better than TR's interior and move on. Learning you will take a lot of time.

X2 (except for the dig at DOS COUP ). Putting weight back in low and centered seems like good advice to me!

A/C compressor is the biggie for the 44 guys. Most 911 cheaters could simply discounnect the belt and not lose any power turning the compressor which was not possible in a water pumper. I am already looking for the A/C bracket and belt. I think some guys would got the compressor to loose weight and minimize power it took to turn the thing.

No camber plate for me at this point. I get -3 or -3.5 camber with the set up I have. When I submitted my comments for carpet delete, I also added that removal of other interior pieces such as lower rear seat bottoms should be allowed, but I guess that did not go. Maybe next year.

I thought is was Das Coup and it was not a dig. Does Curry sell paint? May be you and I can go in and buy the good Dr.'s card. Either my interior will be brown or Das Coup's could match the bumpers depending on what is available.
