69 fastback mustang weight Q: - Page 3 - Lateral-g Forums

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.

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.

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!

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

I would like to post some pics, but don't know how. The color is paladium silver, which is a current Mercedes color. Greg, the suggested mods on your Mustang would make the car handle better and be much easier to drive; you have plently of power for the weight of the car. Next event try driving my 0Mustang.....I know you said you did not like the car, but after you drive is you may think differently.
