Default stage 3 weight reduction yo!

I think someone has been playing too much grand turismo personally...

my question is this, I see the cage in there but it doesnt look close to a 10 point cage. and is it even still scca legal with those doors like that?? I thought you have to have an inner skin at least in them??

The car weighs 1100 lbs with the motor, so that would make the chassis about 600lbs? The 8000K he dropped must have been for Unobtainium tubes to bulid that roll cage and magic chassis material. I also like how it runs 9's, since it did 11.2 and there is not motor now...Haha

That would be pretty fun to do actually.

Imagine driving down the street in it.... imagine the looks you'd get from some people...

I'd say either.
I don't see why you couldnt do both....?

I couldn't imagine the LACK of traction you'd have..... with any swap motor.

this is BS ! a stripped eg with lexan windows and a fiberglass frontend at 1100 lbs? no fiberglass doors, including the weight of an 10 point rollcage.

if it was so easy to drop a eg hatch into 1100 lbs then i still have hope for my ten second allnitrous eg coupe(not that i've lost hope, i just know it is gonna be a bitch )
