I weighed mine with the ls swap and random junk in it, without me it was 2040, i'm sure it wouldnt be too hard to shave a bit of that off...

Dave what does your car weigh?

I'd have to find my notebook with the cornerweighs on it, but somewhere around 2750-2800lb.

Why the hell would he just stay in it like that??

because that's what he does. Runs in a class that doesn't allow wheelie bars and make passes with the wheels way in the air every time. Unfortunately that time the car turned.
I think Chris got pretty beat up in that one too. Believe that happened in 05 or 06?

But its a little easier in a 2100 lb car with light front end than it would be with a BBC in a 3400lb car. I thinbk you have another video with a little harder landing dont you? heh!
