I've actually been checking prices. I've heard that there's titanium roll bars on the market. Have you seen are heard of such? Sounds very light for a roll bar, and expensive.

I'll give him a call. By the way, that 1/4 mile pass i made was the scaries pass i've ever made, it scared the bajessa out of me. It pulled very hard to the left during accelleration. That was enough for me to consider a roll bar.

I sure will flag you down if I see you again. Might be in a blue GMC Envoy (the family vehicle) Ernest and Chris wanted me to go yesterday but I was on call last week so I was unable to go. Looks like I missed a good opertunity to run at the track. Your car hooked up really good and that was some very good driving too!

I'll send you a PM later. I lightened my C6 LS2 approx. 200 lbs to start with. The rims, tires and brakes are over 60 lbs lighter. I upgraged the stock engine craddle to a LS7 Z06 Magnesium engine craddle which is 12.8 lbs lighter, that i found for a bargain of $250.00.
