  • This is just the bulk of the weight removed. We estimate another 10lbs or so can be removed from cleaning everything up. We will document once we get back on the project.

    Hey Steve where did you get the carbon wing? I almost have most of your products. Good stuff brother 👍

    I'm suprised there are not more 3rd gens on the track. They were known for being the most aerodynamic of all cars including the Vette. For a time they were a very successful salt flats build.

    • @wobbles7915
      @wobbles7915 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Aero doesnt have as much to do with 1/4 mile times as power and traction. Weak rear axles + torque arm suspension makes for a real pain in assembly/fab plus expensive. I run hooker's true dual exhaust but man the ground clearance is awful. 3rd gens are becoming rare and valuable these days to compound the matter. IMO don't molest nice 3rd/4th gens into race cars, it costs way too much, isn't that competitive and removes nice driving cars from an already demolished pool of survivors. These used to be 'trailer trash' cars remember?

    Yep, When I did Aaron's mystic camaro roof I came up with the exact same weights. 55-60# and there was still some weight to be removed...

    Thank you for not forgetting us third gen guys. I really do enjoy all of your videos and the progress of all of the customer cars is really good information. Happy to hear you're going to be doing some kits for third gen f bodies. Keep up the wonderful work and keep those videos coming.

    As a 3rd gen lover myself it would be great if someone would come up with a solution for the torque arm without backhalfing the car. As far as I am aware there is only 1 good kit for the torque arm setup. The rest twist like pretzels. Thanks for the great vids. Keep it up.

      Haven’t a issue with my madman TA. Just a 5.3 on 32# of boost.. but it holds up fine. I guess if your planning on being faster than mid 8s I wouldn’t have experience there. But if your trying to go that fast… backhalf it 😂

    If you plan on running the stock hatch I have my old one that's red, all the holes for the wing are filled and it has speedglass with a hole cut for the burn down tank. I also have the aftermarket gas shocks because once you remove all the weight they need to be lighter. Let me know if your interested before I list it for sale.
