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

hey Andrew.. sorry to hear the bad news...

I don't know anything about the weight differences between those fourth gens, but I do have an ESP prepared IROC that you might be interested in.

You know the car. It has:

Mark M's old motor
1992 rear end w/ torsen t2r and 3.42 ring and pinion
Koni SA
Ground Control camber plates
Hooker Super Comp Headers
Holley Stealth Ram intake
LG Aluminum Panhard Rod
CCW 16x10.5 Wheels (only used for about six events)
Canton Road Race Oil Pan

and other odds and ends..

Let me know if you're interested
