In preparation for Sunday's Mustang Club drag day I decided to lighten the load as much as possible. Since I have made 0 performance mods to the car since my runs in the spring I decided to drop car weight.

Here is the list of what all I removed that I had along in the spring and their weights.

Trunk liner(single piece with the "board" attatched covering the spare)=6.6 lbs
Car cover=6.6 lbs
Spare tire/jack(will remove after reaching the track:D )=33.6 lbs
Sub box(Shaker 1000)=35.6 lbs
Amp rack(Shaker 1000)=16.8 lbs
Car seat(son's)=10.8 lbs
Back seat(both folding and bottom parts)=24.8 lbs
Passenger seat(leather)=48.6 lbs
Grand Total of 183.4 lbs! That is only a handful away from totaly eliminating me!!!!!

I will post results Sunday evening.

Here are pics of the Shaker 1000 sub box and amp rack removed from the car.

No diet for me...yet:rlaugh: The center console and cup holders will be empty:D I also plan on getting to the track with less than 1/4 tank of gas. There is a gas station less than a mile from the track so I can fill up before heading back home.
