Default Diet - Go FASTER!!

Over 5 years ago I took my 1982 Collector Edition off the streets. It has been a dedicated drag race car ever since. The car only weighs 2800 lbs.!!! Please go to the following C3 Parts For Sale forum link to see how I put my car on a diet (and maybe buy something)!

Thanks for your help!
Cheers :cheers:

Here I was thinking you were going to tell me that if I lost 50 pounds off of my fat butt, that my CE would go faster...

I'll see if I need anything you have listed... :cheers:

I know how to take 2800 lbs off your hands. :) Do you have a pic of this strip monster?
*edit* Nevermind. Stopped being lazy and checked the website. Beautiful 'vette. Wonder how it'd do if you set it up for cornering.

cool car... i think it would be cool, to turbo charge a car, that looks and sounds completely stock, pull up to the lights, and pull the front end off the ground lol... that would get some looks afterwards, when people stare, just say what with a confused look lol
