Well, the wife changed "our" minds on my pruchasing an '02 Z06, right as I was going to pull the money out of the bank I might add. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)


That said, I guess that I'm going to look into a F-body for autocross once again - in ESP this time, though.......since I have Mark Madarash down here.

That leads me to a question, how much heavier is a TA Hawk (with t-tops) over a hardtop SS.....all things being equal, and obviously I would change the leather out to cloth. - skirts to include the nose and rear, rear wing, etc.......it seems like just a little too much in the Hawk.

.....I like the Hawk looks better but think that the SS has too much weight savings to overcome - at the Divisional and National levels.

Anyone have these weights or thoughts ?

Thank you for your time
Andrew
