Well we took the Ghettomaro down to Panoz racing at the Texas Motor Speedway. A friend worked there and had access to some 4 corner scales, so we setup today to drive it down there and get her weighed up.
We zeroed the scales, set her down, and I was elated when I heard the numbers. Here are two pictures to show the breakdown, but for the cliff notes, 2874 without me, 3001 with me. I weigh 130 on the bathroom scale (don't laugh) so the scales seem to be dead on. The front/rear weigh distribution is the only killer. Can you say donut machine?

Be sure to take note of the Home Depot sewer coupling/stove vent pipe cold air intake... what a joke. -Kyle |

That is pretty light. I ripped out everything un-used also.Like with the front bumper everything got ripped out of there BUT then replace it with sheet metal ducting,aluminum stock for the front breather,bumper supports,bunper ducts,hosing,ps cooler . Dash nada,brackets nada, I've ripped all the glass out have lexan replacement,gutted the doors but then added nascar bars both sides (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) the cage alone I don't know.
I like to think I was sub 3K before the cage make sense yours is. Real curious about what mine is going to be when finished.I'll probabely trailor it to the dump (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) after it is done. Hmm you have a aluminum block in it now...wonder how much weight saving that is over the lt1. I was so close to going flat black interior walls and red cage... couldnt help but think it would make it even hotter inside. Went smoke grey,black cage and I don't want to paint it again anytime soon (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) believe it or not that was the hardest (for me) I have had to do on this car. I originally thought it would be a breeeze...I don't know I must suck at it cuz man was it agravating (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Looks great Kyle you've come alone way since backing into that ditch buddy KEEP IT UP!
