Resurrecting the Wicked Chicken! Reply #52 – February 17, 2015, 04:55:23 PM I guess that I forgot to mention that after all the weight reduction I was curious what it weighed in at. Now before I let on to an amazing outcome, I would like to recap what all I have done for weight reduction. Chromoly K member, A Arms, Drive Shaft, Roll Cage, Seat Brackets. Aluminum Seat, completely stripped interior and aluminum dash as well as carbon fiber dash panel. Fiberglass pin on hood and both front and rear bumpers have been removed and bumper covers reinforced with fiber glass boat repair kits from walmart. Any thing that was not functional for a drag car was removed. The front brakes are Strange engineering drag race only brakes that must weigh in at 10lbs /side or less, manual steering rack and manual brakes. I gutted the doors including the 30lb crash guard in each door and the window regulators chopped and pinned to hold the windows in place. The seam sealer and internal brakets behind the rear seat and the rear passanger arm rests have been removed and cut out to structural intregity only. Trunk gutted and only the hinge mechanism is in place, spare tire bracket is gone as well as all brackets and hold downs from the exhaust pitched.I originally thought 3000 lbs or really close, but I guess that being a weight mizer worked on my favor because it only weighs in at 2640 lbs. I do not think it could get any lighter without really cutting and drilling as well as replacing the windows with lexan or optic armor poly windows. I guess that the original curb weight was 3460 for the Sport. That sure is alot of weight. Quote Selected

Resurrecting the Wicked Chicken! Reply #54 – February 18, 2015, 09:35:37 AM I need to find someone with the 4 individual wheel scales to determine weight bias and center of gravity. That would be awesome! Quote Selected
Resurrecting the Wicked Chicken! Reply #55 – February 18, 2015, 01:58:28 PM That thing sounds nasty. I can't wait to see how fast it goes.2640 without driver? that's light. Mine is 3560 with no driver (3710 with me). Quote Selected
