Weight reduction?
Ive got a 02 vert, and am looking to shed a few pounds to compensate for the extra weight the vert adds. I know i probably cant take enough off within reason to compensate for the extra weight but my question is what exactly can i lose? Any input would be appreciated.

RE: Weight reduction?
They're only about 150 lbs. heavier, that's abouit a .1-.15 at the track. Nothing than a better than average60 ft. timewould compensate for.
Rear seat delete, ditch the spare, 1/4 tank of gas, lighter rims, the usual stuff.

put it this way for every thousand pounds shaved is a second shaved off our 1/4 mile time, in theory, so you won't really notice much of diff unless you strip everything power windows interior everything lol, I removed my rear tire back seats and passeneger seat and I really didnt notice that much of diff wasn't worth my time, I put it all back in.

RE: Weight reduction?
90.5 lbs isn't really that noticeble drive on a quarter tank, for every gallon of gasoline there is 19.5 lbs we have a 13 gallon tank about 253.5 lbs. with a full tank, get it down to 1/4 or less and you just saved some weight for racing the additional 90lbs reduced wont hurt either but for over all weight reduction, 90lbs just isn't that much.
