Now I'm about to get a vortech and after that going to lighten it.
According to the scale my car weighs 1.74 tons 3480lbsafter pulling the spare, passenger seat, replaced with lighter corbeau seats, rear seat delete, etc. Meanwhile I'm planning on getting 1pc aluminum driveshaft and an aluminum flywheel (as soon as I find one that's not gt specific) and one day will replace my wheels again after getting these heavy 18x9 rims that were supposedly light.
It's nice that I now have 22MPG but it's still heavier then my sisters mazda RX8 - or so she says - with a faster 0-60 utilizing less weight and a rotorary engine. I mean come on she's faster then me with similar HP on a factory RX8... actually mine should have more then hers as it's modded. Only reason I can think her outdoing me is that she's lightweight... or... she lies.
