LOL Wow, I completely forgot about that.. I think my car was mostly stock, if not completely stock at that point. Even better is I still have that same stock clutch..
Looks dumb huh well my friend Iv'e had people tell me it looks good and bad,that's fine but dumb is a new one to me how exactly does a car look dumb?,as far I know this is a fact, YOU will only see the the back of my car,and the only thing I will see is a dummy in my rear view mirror.

2650 vs. what for the stock weight? is all that weight saving from CF alone or have you been pulling other bits off the car?
Also, still got the interior door panels and door beams and stuff in there? just curious

Freakin volvo driver cagers......Do you think guys on streetbikes care about crash protection? Like the factory doors were worht a damn anyway....haters....
Id like to know how 2650-ish was achieved also cause CF drops no more than 200. CF driveshaft? no interior, No AC system? No fluids? No Wheels?

CF helps a bit, but his car is also an RS which starts out pretty light already.
There are tons of "nonvisible" places you can lose a few pounds here and there. Not to mention most of the buschur parts are very light too.
You have the Engine cradle/lower engine mount that buschur sells, the AMS or Buschur Mustache bar, among tons of other parts that I don't know for sure whaat he has, but they are similar to parts I'm running.
Although I don't recommend CF Doors and lexan windows, they are worth a pretty good weight savings.
If Pete claims his car to be 2650lbs, I'd be inclined to believe it. When he sets his sights on a goal, he will accomplish it. Heck he beat my best pump gas numbers by over 80whp! And I thought my car was stealthy and well prepped. Now add this to a car thats also easily 400 pounds lighter than mine.. This is one quick/fast **** of a Panda.
Another thought.. Paint even weighs a few pounds once its on the car. Originally I would have suggesting painting the CF parts to match.. Other than the stealth factor, you are actually adding a pound or two by painting them.
