lol, no way Jose. Love my Brembos. And I still refuse to cut weight, period. I'd rather just add POWA!

Sent from your moms room...

We see how just adding power goes. And the faster cars keep getting lighter. Running less boost.

Good thing your heading out while its being built or your house and everything in it would be plastidipped. Lol.

I agree you need some weight reduction though.

Umm ok. All I said was, taking weight out is a better idea than throwing more power at it.

As Wnt2gofst has stated, I have already done some weight loss. Back some pages ago we did the K, and A arms are going in as well. DS swapped, resonators are off, racestars for all 4, and Im on a diet.... LOL

What else should I do? Gut the car and be without A/C? nope.....

You could... I'm not. Rear seat delete, actual Corbeau/Recaro race seats that remove the air bags (I did this), lighter weight hood, wheels etc.

I have a seat delete in my shed I pulled off. Put regular seats back in. To much noise comes through.

But ya lots of seats nicer and lighter then stock recaros. Hell from what seen the base regular seats weigh less then the recaros.
Hoods only save about 6-10lbs on the 5.0's(mine saved 8lbs going to a race fiber glass Hood.. Wheels are huge as I drop 140lbs from my 20's to 15's all around.

Also he has brembo brakes he loves. But going to more dedicated drag car as he is. There is 35lbs on each side to lose going to strange brakes.
