You calling me FAT?!?!?! LOL

I am pretty big, 260 lbs! But I only have 18% body fat, And i dont want to lose it all! Only 8% can go, But still the 8% is only 20.8 pound! That wont make much of a diff!

Rear hatch glass is a good place to start.

Ok! Since Adder hasnt been here in a while, i will be the new A$$! IF!!!! you!!!!! even took the time to read the thread you would noticed I am asking about a 89 coupe! Not my 86 t-top!

But Back to me, Mr. Nice guy.

Its a coupe, no hatch, No wing!


jtmustang---- I am looking for low to mid 10's! Which I feel is very reasonable giving thw weight and power!
