The Lizard Skin is turning out just as planned. My goal is to insulate the interior as much as possible from heat and sound.

How much weight does that add? Do You think the car will be close to 2700lbs minimum for the class? What does noise and heat matter if it's only going to be driven 50-60 seconds at a time? Or is it still going to be street legal?

The weight gain is minimal. The car will weigh about 2600 lbs when it is completed. All the bolt on panels are fiberglass (doors, hood, fenders, nose, bumpers, deck lid). Because I am running a 416 cubic inch motor and 18" x 12" wheels, the car must weigh 3100 lbs. I will be adding about 500 lbs of lead / steel to the floor and cage behind the rear seat. All very low and centered weight. And yes, this will be a tricked out CP Camaro with lights that I will occasionally drive on the street. People say I am crazy, but, I have a vision and I am seeing it thru. :D

That's cool. That was My original plan for My Chevelle but due to budget cuts it looks like the race car side is winning:willy:

does the weight have to be fixed? the mercedes DTM class race cars have their weight mounted on a slide so the weight bias can be shifted... (the 2008 cars had them hydraulically operated to change bias for braking, acceleration and turns)

Yes it does. We have a plan for the weight addition that should work very nice. I will show it when it is added.
