You better quit running that car at the strip and do some serious heads up runnin' for money on the street if you are that quick in a 4 door sedan w/fwd BTW, what altitude were those runs at? Jim

The elevation of the track is around sea level...and as far as the weight, my cars a base model with no ABS,Sunroof,Side airbags...so i'm sure that helps and switchin to a single exhuast toke off around 30#'s

U will trip if u pick these puppies up...they r that light, and they should be for what they cost. I know they r a overkill for my car, but i can use them for free, so Y not...if they clear my brakes
