Your thoughts about weight? - 09/09/09 09:12 AM
I weighted my Charger roller today. This is car without motor and tranny and plastic front end.
Car still have metal doors but cutted inside, have lexan windows on doors, all other glasses are original.
Interior - there is 6 point rollgage and plastic seat and aluminium dashboard.
Trunk - RCI plastic fuel cell and Aerospace 350 fuel system kit
Front end - original K-frame and orignal subframe. Manual steering rack and pinion
Car still have original rear chrome bumper and bumper brackets and original heavy brakes...
So car weight without me was 1820 lbs
Front : 585 lbs
Rear : 1235 lbs
What you think is it good weight or not? What else can I change/cut to get it lighter? Ofcorse all windows to lexan and maybe fiberglass doors. I cant replace front end (subframe and K-member) because of class rules where this car is going to race.
Also what you expect total wieght. Motor is R5/P7 and tranny is coming TF727
Is there any change to get this big car total weight under 2800 lbs ?
Thanks
