So, with that in mind we just going for lightweight and nimble.

The wax paper is just protecting everything from brakefluid during the MC change.. I should have engaged in psychological warfare and put a loaf of wonder bread on top of the intake... lol

Steve, tell tell forgeline you sold them some wheels (well actually I had them picked before) but maybe you can swing me a deal

kidding
(sort of) but when I can afford it thats what I will be going with. I just made a big purchase for my car so it will have to wait a bit. Anyway, Back to Penny

Looking good Steve...wow amazed at how different Penny looks just from last Sunday!

Lightweight street fighter...

Two days until we leave for SEMA.

All the Anvil CF stuff is on the car.. I must say that it fits REALLY good right out of the box. We have a gap between the hood and the front valance, but since these parts are only on the car temporarily we don't want to do modifications that will make putting the steel parts back on later.

Total weight savings was over 40 lbs.. closer to 50.

New weight, with 15 gallons of gas, is 3286. So the dry weight is about 3196. For optima the car will be another 16 pounds lighter since the race tires weight quite a bit less than the PS2s.

Front to rear weight bias is 52/48.. and a little better with a driver.

Here are all the CF pieces in place and stickered up for Optima. Jimi Day asked me to run last years door sticker. I like the GS stripes more than I thought I would.

Anyways, I drove the car 80 miles home last night so I could do the Speedvision deal today and then I drive it back this afternoon. Everything is A-Ok so far.

Wow Steve! Penny looks up to the challenge, the forgelines look great! Now go blowem of the road!

I love the GS stripes! I hate them on the Corvette GS (late model) but these on the Camaro make it look "race car"!

Great looking parts BTW.

Now... If I could just get Charley to part with "X" for about $35K -- I'd add a Camaro to the mix!

Looks great, although In really like a solid color on your hood better. But that weight saving is NICE!
