... how did they manage 3100 lbs????

 

interesting. 200 pounds lighter. possibly numerous lighter materials throughout the car.

 

yeah, thought it was pretty cool.. i'd like to talk to the design team

Looks like a gutted interior, one race seat, no A/C components, lightweight motor, carbon fiber hood/wing/fascia (maybe trunk?)-- that'd probably do it.

 

cool... thought that cammer was an iron block though

 

Probably is, but then, it's gotta be lighter than a 5.4 with supercharger and intercooler and accessories...
