After scaling the car, i,m a little surprised by the total weight and the front-to-rear %. Its 3172 total with me in it and 55 front and 45 rear. Car is a 68 Dart all fiberglass front end with stock 74 k member and disk brakes. For a race car its alittle porky. What kind of numbers do you guys have with your race setups?

My 68 Notchback is 2800 lbs with me(205) and 100 lbs ballast in the trunk. Soon will do some lightening and get rid of the stock front suspension, struts it will be!!!

Getting the car lighter starts to cost a lot of money. What gets the most bang for the buck when trying to lighten the front?
