Anyone have more of a deffinate answer on the battery for a DD?
No way................
Thats awesome!!! I need to go on a Diet. LOLall that hard work to knock out weight paid off
My whole car weighed in at 3240 with me in it
I weigh 140-145 lbs
Just adding to the tech:
2006 Mustang GT, manual
Steeda race cowl hood
Steeda competition fascia with billet duct inlets and no accy fogs
GT/CS rear fascia
stock brakes with Quantum ducts
BMR K-member brace
BMR swaybars, billet links in rear
Tokico dampers, BMR springs, MM C/C plates
ARH, offroad H, SLP stainless resonators, Flowmaster A/B
Canton Accusump, Pipeline oil filter blockoff, remote filter, Setrab oil cooler
BBR rear seat delete
Ultrashield race seats, Simpson 5-pt harnesses on both sides
Autopower 4-pt rollbar (race version with diagonal and harness tubes)
rear seatbelts deleted, kiddie seat anchors deleted
MM LCAs (rod), MM PHB (rod) BMR UCA (poly, adj.)
Spec 3+ clutch, AL flywheel, Spydershaft

3691 lbs, full fuel and 150lb driver with HANS and helmet, trunk stripped.
FWIW, with the stock interior, no rollbar, and an automatic trans, it was 3719 on the same scales at tech.
Yeah, it's a fat pig. Anything of reasonable weight that I missed pulling? It's not a DD, but it is on the street occasionally, so...
put a 5 speed in that bitach
Well, I pulled a FIVE SPEED automatic out, and put a FIVE SPEED manual in, so I'm not sure where you're going with that... trans swap, rear seat delete, swap stock leather (power driver) for race seats and harnesses, install a SCCA/NASA legal 4-point, and I dropped 28lbs total...

What did that Autopower race bar weigh roughly?
Holy balls!!! that's impressive! good job man, now if only Ford would make them that weight off the assembly line....
I never picked up the assembled bar, since you sort of build it in the car, but pulling it off the delivery truck, it was probably around 60-70lbs, I would bet. Not easy to pick up, but not a major pain, either. I'm just surprised I didn't drop more than that. The auto was a HELL of a lot heavier than the manual, but then again that had the (full) converter in it, and the clutch isn't a lightweight...
Upon reflection, if we consider the trans swap a wash, and trade the front seats for the bar, then the 30lb drop is probably about right... Damn.
The Autopower race bar is (per the rules) a lot more than you need for the strip, but it is confidence-inspiring on a road course, all that 1.75", 0.120-wall DOM steel...
Wow, that's beefy..I was thinking 40-50-ish lbs. At least it's adding weight on the right end of the car, but 60-70# is considerable! I might have to drop by some shops to see what they'd want to make me up something similar in 4130..or this could be the perfect excuse to get a tubing bender and a Synchrowave...mmmm, TIG welder...
