Weight Saving Ideas

[John Stuttle]

Wieght reduction 101 - Aftermarket wheels, lighter disc brake rotors, remove the following items - carpet mats/insulation/sound proofing, spare tire/jack, insulation under hood, rear muffler and cats, fog lamps. Throw out all fast food wrappers - john

Another reduction is the hood. Not sure where to get one but I know there is an aftermarker hood that is very light.

200# will get you a tenth off of your e.t. Go aftermarket parts if you need more speed......

YOu can always loose more pounds.. Diet, cardio, etc! There is another 30 lbs...
Shave ALL your body hair, that's good for at least 2 lbs. Better aero dynamics too! When the air swirls around the inside of the car, it moves much better over smooth skin.. Just ask Chuck Babel..
Donate...
1 lung
1 kidney
, that's another 5 lbs
Give blood the day before..., another 2 lbs
Oh yeah.. Bust a nut also the night before.. Good for at least 1/2 pound!
Clip all toenails, and fingernails...
Scrape tongue

With wheels, tires and light brake rotors you can remove 50 lbs. of rotating mass easily.

It ain't cheap, but after-market coil-overs are much lighter then the stock shocks and springs.

hehe! Where is chuck to respond to gerald's comments? What's up guys. As far as losing weight on the hoods, Tony Darwin makes a very light hood for the viper.
