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?

the thing is, all V-8 cars have a minimum of 2800 in AI. if it was a V-6 or smaller, then there is no minimum. i'm thinking a turbo 6 from a 3rd gen or buick in a 4th gen chassis w/ the T5. hell, even the 4.3 V6 would be cool.

Why a 4th gen chassis? I agree with Costas: 3rd gens are lighter to start with, so why bother dealing with a 4th gen? 3rd gens are cheaper to start with too! |
