ouch. Actually, 2200 minus me and with 3 gallons in the tank. I figure I can shave off 50lbs by switching to aluminum heads. There's probably another 50lbs I can shave off in 4 link mounting brackets (shock mounts and uca mounts, quad shock mounts, etc).

never. Factory Five did make a production run of like 6 CF bodies. They were 5k each and weighed 50lbs.

It's a father/son build.. Sometimes street, but mostly me racing it... Didn't opt for the challenge car though because the races are pretty far for us(wish they had some fl ones!)

But yeah, we went with the 3link suspension, full coilovers all around, dual roll bars(for instructors to ride along, full cobra disks all around, 5lug, black vynal interior, 17'' halibrand style, and a crate 302/345 hp(and then some of our own mods), 4 into 4 headers, etc. should be a fun car
