Greg's POS might have been weighed before bumpers, glass etc were removed. I sent Jack a link so he can chime in. He built it and had it weighed. It has R-P steering.

I emailed McGee Motorsports and asked that they weigh it and give me corner weights.


The little POS handles way better than I can drive so no reason to change a thing -- but these questions always make me "want to know"...

Not sure how it would get any lighter.... there's nothing there but body - drivetrain - cage... Lexan "glass". No bumpers... no door guts... no carpet... Well - you get the picture.

Suggested mods
 
A better brake package and some aero mods would help a lot. If I did the car today, I would go the complete DSE front and rear suspension and get more tire under the car.

Jack --- All that would do for me is have me spinning at higher speeds....



Hey! Was great to see you at GNRS - imagine my surprise when I stop to look at a sweet Camaro -- and it's yours! See ya at a track some time soon I hope. That is if Charlie will still let me join in the group. :D

By the way - the QUESTION was about WEIGHT.... I have a weight sheet showing 3015 pounds.... The originator of this thread was asking what we all thought he could get his '69 Mustang Fastback down to. I said my "track car" weighs 3015 according to the sheet that was in with all the other paperwork (minus the title).... HA!

Was that the silver 69? I might have a pic or two...

Ron --- It was kind of Ferrari Silverstone Grigio colored.

That'd only be about the 8th 1st gen Camaro that I know of on this forum in that color. :peepwall:
