Exactly. I've got a Mustang that will never make its 2670 minimum weight.
I'm at the point where sanity and insanity begin to blur.
I'm qualifying at only 104-105% (ave.) of the fastest ITR cars.
I'm currently at 2935, should be able to get another 70 pounds out of the car. That's if I desire to spend several thousand dollars replacing the cage with lighter chrome moly, getting an ultra-light seat, replacing the panhard bar with some other rear axle locating device, and scraping/pulling what VERY little is left to remove.
I'm not in this sport to screw around, drink beer and dilly-dally in the paddock. I want to raise hell at the front.
But it sure won't be in my car...
No tears for me, please. I'm the guinea pig in the Great 3.8 Mustang ITR Experiment.
