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?

I just found the page I wanted to reference earlier. Not sure how accurate these weights are as the page has been around for a long time and doesn't look like it's been updated recently.
http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/fbody/weights.htm According to that page, the LS1 is only 30lbs heavier then the 3800II in standard trans form. The next part is purely speculation on my part, but my guess is that the LS1 is actually lighter (or at least break even) if you compared only engines, because the LS1 got the T56 and the 3800 got the T5. While the 3800 would place the weight back further in the chassis, I'd guess a stock LS1 (294hp/311tq max) with a 2800lb race weight would be an interesting combo given the fat power band. |
