So, we race our 87 GTA in CMC here in Colorado. We weighed our hood in winter and found it was aa whopping 60 pounds. I know the Camaros can get down to a 40 pound stock hood. Are there any OEM firebird hoods lighter than the GTA (like the Formula) or are we just stuck with an extra 20# of ballast on our nose?

I'd expect the front bumper to be 20-25 lbs based on the weight of the rear bumper. I've had both my bumpers off the car and the front is of similar construction to the rear, and the rear steel bumpers are 20-24 lbs. http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/index.php?showtopic=14206
