It has to be LIGHT to be able to think about 9s on 480 whp. Don't get me wrong, I love the car and think it was very tastefully done, but it can't weigh much more than 2300 lbs.

The same was said when my car ran 8's on 780whp.. Everyone saw it still had 100% full interior in it.. its NO WHERE NEAR 2300lbs i know that for a FACT..

Corner Balance scales and it was over 2500lbs before the front work was done to the car.. We didnt drop 200lbs and alot was added back in too with safety equiptment like undertrays, driveshaft loop etc..

Hey MIKE just wanted to knoe if you guy's are going to attempt a 9sec run before switching the cars setup to an FP Red i think it would be great for the Evo community and a great acomplishment if this unthinkable measure was to be done, I love how you guys are pushing the envolope to keep the game exciting big up's to AWD MOTORSPORTS, Most Wanted and etc. Congrats once again!
