So that got me thinking. How light could one get an f-body. According to the 9.5:1 weight to power ratio 200rwhp car weight 1900 lbs. It could be quite easy to turn, brake ect. that little weight on 275 tires and 14" willwood rotors. Shouldn't it? Can one get an f-body under 2000lbs?

well i have gotten a 95 V8/T-56 car to 2800 under CMC limitations. w/ a V6/T5 and AI rules, i could easily see 2400 being a reality. whats stopping you from boosting power to match the weight if you cant get the weight to match 200 hp?
i'de find a 98 or newer car and use the stock brakes as they are just fine for my 3200lb CMC car (w/ driver). i would do it in CMC if they would cut the minimum weight to 3000lbs for a V6 (w/ driver). |

What is the power to weight ratio in CMC? I was looking at the chart in the rules, 2800 looks off the chart, and if you just divide it looks like 13.7:1. I also didn't see the 3000lb minimum for V6. One could boost the power, but that was not my point. My logic being lighter is faster in corners, and undrer braking. Lighter being the same as heavier+power under acceleration. Furthermore, building something that weighs as much as a Honda challenge (or less), with twice the contact patch (big ol tires). |
