Okay,

Since we have a couple of hours to kill, I want to tell you what I removed from my car to "lighten" it up a little.

Sterio and speakers
Back seats
Seat Belts
Passenger seat (38lbs)
spare wheel & jack
Trunk liner
Most interior panels (more to go)
Carpets
38lbs of sound proofing material (used Dry Ice)
Rear wiper and motor (2.5lbs)
Windshield washer bottle (5lbs+)
tie-downs (7lbs)
front bumper (20lbs)
A/C compressor (40lbs)
Heating vents and ducts

Total weight reduction = 320lbs

Still to go:
Front lights (4lbs)
Horn
Fuel Tank switch to Fuel Cell (20lbs hoping)
Door Glass and gut doors (20lbs x 2)
Heater coil (5lbs)
airbag
center console (5lbs)
undercoating (10lbs)
Accessories Wiring Harness (8lbs)

Another 100lbs

So there you have it! A Z weighing in at 2800lbs.
Add roll cage (100lbs) and you have a screamer.


Oh, and I forgot to mention this:

[Edit: Exsilio, I'm afraid the cup holders are going to have to go too. ]

 

how about those 4-week diets that will strip you 20 lbs?

 

Still working on it. Let's just say this "It's Hog country so I avoid wearing pink."

 

Ah yes, now that would help me lose some weight fast. Good thinking VQ!

 

How about side windows and steel back hatch (less drag?)? Then you could go old style!

 

bye bye key fob

 

And hey, if you drive naked.... extra pound or two of clothes off right there baby .

 

There must be a way to cut out that damn HUGE rear strut brace and do something else to increase the rigidity. That thing must be heavy.

 

Use remote control - you can eliminate the driver - at least 150 lbs.

 

can you imagine if the Z actually weights 2800lbs with 287hp? man, that's gonna be some rocket!

 

Don't forget to take a dump before you get behind the wheel!

 

Nice one Brian!

I was looking at your avatar of the dog and pictured him saying your last post and it made it all the more funny!!!
