280Z weight reduction

[bosco]

Good suggestions above.

We ran a 280 in ITS in the early to mid 90's and took it about as far as we could on our limited dollars. Seems like we were about 50# lighter than yours. The car could run top 5 to 7 in thirty car fields with a best of third, but never won. As more SPEEDSOURCE RX7's showed up we slippED further back.

Finally gave up and built a 240.............immediately 2 to 3 seconds faster at Daytona & Sebring, 200 # lighter, better handling, better braking, and better accel off corner.......
... more SPEEDSOURCE cars show up ...still 5th to 7th or sometimes 10th.

GAVE UP......switch car to E Prod....win races!!!

Mike Van Steenburg & Grayson Upchurch and SPEEDSOURCE EP cars show up........lose races!

Go back to ITS with 240SX.....some top three's...usually top 5
BMW's show up, more and newer SPEEDSOURCE cars show up, slip further back

Give up

Switch to GTA & SPO with V8 StockCar win races................
Jay Marshall, Greg Cecil, Bob Stretch, Tony Amico,Charles Wicht, Larry Hoopaugh show up......
LOSE RACES.

So what do we do now.........building GT-1/Rolex GT Corvette
so we can lose to Dave Machavern, Jeff Emery and everybody in GA

YA GOTTA LOVE IT!
