That is awesome ! Jason you should go after that record!

Haha, Im quite far off from that as is. I think the Fastest 6spd Eaton(no Spray) is into the 10.40's

I am gunning for 10's though off the spray, its a bit more doable, but still a long way to get there.

Weight is the ticket!

Yeah cant get much more than he already did aside from front seats and door panels interior wise. Solid swap and Tubular K are probably worth 160-220 pounds so that will help. Auto makes a big diff though.

But for the money of a solid you can buy a Whipple and just do it with more power though cutting a 1.3 60 would be awesome.

I would bet you 500 dollars I could get more then 300 lbs out of jasons car..... You need to be creative.

Out of the interior.. other than what i mentioned? The front seats are good for about 50 -60 pounds with a light seat going back in. Short of pulling the dash i dont see how you could pull any more weight. He already had the whole rear apart. In total i think he took out 2oo pounds of interior shit when at mission i am saying there isnt much more to be had than the seats and center console. But have at her lol .

[Toma K]

Wow.  That is VERY impressive

I agree, without ruining the car for the street.

Jake will admit this is basically a track/race car now.  He has manual steering, no A/C, manual brakes I think(similar to what Ratt Fink has done, but Ratt runs 9.8X @ 140mph with a 6 speed/solid axle)

I believe Jakes cobra is just over 3350lbs with him in it for a race weight.

I weighed my car out in Mission:
Draglites up Front
16" SN95 Wheels
Passenger Seat Removed
Rear Seat Removed
All panels in the trunk out
Spare Tire/Jack removed

Probably 1/3 tank of fuel

It weighed 3625 with me in it
3400 without

I agree with Adam. Other than swapping seats which would maybe drop 50lbs, there isnt much more to lose. Yeah I could unbolt the Mach 460 amp rack...which is another 30lbs or so. Its just that the damn IRS is so heavy compared to a Solid Axle. Like Schyler said, the silver car is pretty much a dedicated race car with manual brakes/steering, no a/c. It takes away the comforts of everyday driving.

Tubular K member/a arms and coil overs loose another 80 or so lbs and right off the nose where you want to loose it.

There are aluminum bumpers that save 8-12lbs off the nose I think.  Most tubular k's are about 60lbs for the 03-04 Cobra, give or take, but like you said right off the nose where we need it.  Should help with launches.  I want a PSR unit, but the bitches are basically $1000.

Cro mo tubular inner bumper front and rear,lighter seat,tubular K/a arms and coil overs, sound deadner, mach 460 amp rack ........... there is a lot of weight that could still be pulled.

But I think most of us look at it like why, these cars hit the streets far too much and for long cruises sometimes.  I know my car will average at least 10,000kms a summer.  Sound deadner with how loud my car is will stay 

I think Jason has done very well with what he has removed, even the stuff he pulled to get down to the weight was quite a bit and not how the car will run 90% of the time.

My mach amp rach is gone, aftermarket deck is in with speakers, I didn't mind tossing that crap.  The lightweight seats would be a nice addition!

[FatCat]

Yeah ... for nice seats though you are talking BUC's lol im not going to go cruising around in aluminum race seats with a cover

1) im to fat and it would hurt my ass
2) im fat and like cushy seats lol
3) im not baller enough to drop 3grand on seats.

I agree there is a fair amount of weight that can be dropped from race form but not in street trim. With the cage ill probably do a rear seat delete next year as i cant have a bolt in belt bar.

I ain't fat and those aluminum kirkey seats would hurt my ass 

[YoungBuck]

American Muscle is selling the Corbeau LG1's at a decent price.

I priced out a set, pair of seats, brackets and shipping....1100usd all in. Not a bad deal in my eyes.

I may do a Tubular K eventually, but thats is still a year or 2 down the road.

You ever sat in them or rode in them?

They are a lot more comfortable then one would think if installed properly.

How is a tubular K/A arms and Coil overs not streetable?

sometimes you have to think outside the box.....

No I have never tried them Neil, would be curious to see.  However driving to swift current in those seats I bet my ass goes numb.

They are actually quite comfortable... on a drive to swift you might want to stop and stretch once or twice but I really dont think they are any worse then what a lot of stock cars come with.
