2400... We just ran the car around a lil bit and it sure is fast. We did almost anything you could think of besides using any type of titanium or magnesium parts. All the floors/unibody is still intact. It does still have both seats in it, and 3piece rims. We could lose a quick 50lbs if we were going to go to a timeattack if we wanted.

Yeah...I saw them after I made the post. Simply Sick! What would a rough estimate be for someone who wanted to shed that much and have a similar cage built?

THe VK is pretty dirty, I saw you at a couple of events when I was with Enjuku. I never got a chance to see the sr 350z though. I think I gave you a high five once lol. But you and Tony Angelo are cool guys. Ill have to hit up the DA winnebago party next time, I miss out last time lol.
