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?

V6?? You don't need more than 4!!

Keep in mind Glenn's 2800 lb car actually is about a 3000lb car with a driver (AI weighs the car with driver, post race weight meaning all fluids yadda yadda yadda) That said, I'm sure that car could've lost another 4-500 lbs if you started using carbon body panels, lexan windows, etc. Some drivetrain components which can't be modified in CMC but can be for AI could also save weight such as tubular k-members, front suspension arms, torque arm, carbon driveshaft. You can completely chop the front off the car and build a tubular bumper/radiator support. I can see 2400lbs too.

I've mentioned this to folks in AI several times...but no one seems to care because no one has shown up with anything other than a v8. I think the day someone shows up with a featherweight Fox coupe with a 4 banger that rule will get changed (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
