'Cause it is....


I didn't do any of the set up - it's just the paperwork that came with the car.

I'd bet you all you have vs. what I have that it's with driver and you should get your car back on the scales to get the cross weight right.

It spins both ways so what's the problem??

Here's my old car on the scales with dead nuts cross weight and me in the car. Notice the left side vs. right side weight. Very similar to your car. You just need some work on the cross weight. From my fuzzy memory, your RF spring needs a few turns UP.

You bring up a good point.

Thanks for the effort Greg. Sounded like a lot of work. You should count it towards your daily amount of exercise.

I still don't get it. A big dodge charger weighs 3400-3600lbs depending on options. Why on earth would a car half the size weigh almost the same. Alloy engine block and heads, coil over suspension, Carbon fiber interior, alloy wheels, billet breaks, alloy cased gearbox... Gotta weigh under 3000.

We weighed our 65 slow back, full interior with a new 5.0 roller motor/T-5/Ice Cream Truck rear and it came in at 2888. I dunno what you did to make a race car so portly. Cage?

My 69 with an iron block/aluminum head 351W based 460, magnesium Rankin trans, carbon clutch, rollcage and no back seat weighs 3100.
