Link didn't work for me.

I have pics ov that one on my computer. Didn't know that was the one you were building years ago during the big C3 weight-loss arms race. Funny... it doesn't LOOK that light. Past a certain point, you can start to tell.

The car went under a long and expensive process to drop all that weight, for what I remember I dumped aircon, change seats for very light ones, wheels were very expensive custom made in UK with very lightweight materials, Hoosier race tires, empty doors, no side windows, fix lights, lexan windshield, custom exhaust, lightweight brake discs and calipers, no tops, no hand brakes, alu heads, alu radiator, etc etc...

Pretty impressive, considering thats a what, 75-77? You started with the heaviest possible year, with shat sounds like a full option list. Thats a good pile... and a Corvette thats lighter than my Honda Civic.
