Thread of Cuda moved, here's pics of Evo
How much weight savings on the CF top vs Aluminum, since the RS is aluminum. As for the hood, the Aluminum is slightly lighter than the CF so not sure how much would be saved when comparing to the lightweight Aluminum on the RS. I chose CF doors, since they were steel. Aluminum vs Steel makes up for part of the factory savings/weight figures. I would imagine that the Alum top is about the same if not lighter, unless the CF is single layer without the supports. Any ideas as to the comparisons?
That's combined. Front doors saved ~20lbs each, back doors were 15 each, deck was about 10. Not much savings for the cost. That's why I started a thread a while back about the cost per pound of weight savings. By doing that, we could put a sorted order list out that would show what each change should be, based on expense. No way to save 200 lbs without leaving the doors, deck and hood completely off.
Dan, I'm going to try to hit the 1320, but it's been nearly 30 years since I did it on a regular basis. I intend on running you down and letting you show me the tricks. Sometimes old dogs CAN learn new tricks.
By the way, it sounds like your new engine is set on kill for sure. Best of luck this year. You are certainly an inspiration to those of use 'newbies' and 'oldies' alike.
I think it says, "If you're reading this while you're driving, you shouldn't own or drive this car!",
I'm such a prankster. Actually, it's a factory sticker I haven't removed yet.
