Today at the shop, Cory and Myself were sitting there looking at the car trying to find ways to make it a little lighter. One thing led to another and before we knew it the whole thing was apart. lol. Needless to say we found a lot of things that were not needed for our car and the car is loosing a lot of weight. When we are done the car will still be full interior just without all the extra weight.

Here are some pics…
Man that sunroof looks heavy…

We have a while to get all this done but why not start now? I think our goal for next year will be to compete with the big guys but still maintaining the “Street car” image. The car is in such good shape that I cant bring myself to hack it up.
