3,044 with aluminum heads, no ac, no smog, no front sway without me in it
Don't forget center console and rear seat and spare tire delete.
Well just for the record it's not like i'm TRIED to lighten my car....it's just that there isn't much to it ya know? It's a really bare bones car. I have a jammed full tool box in the trunk and when i go to the track i usually leave it in there to give me some weight over the back tires
The thing is though, among V8 Mustangs (fox's anyways) they didn't get any lighter than the '79-85 no option coupes. My car wasn't a no option car from the factory but the only thing it has that a no option car doesn't is power steering.
OK let's do this.....let's say the car did weigh 3200lbs with AC, spare tire and jack, all the trunk mats and stuff, stereo, smog pump and all emissions, converters on the exhaust, steel bumpers, steel drive shaft, stock hood and stock heavy ass wheels and tires....
Then you remove all that junk and put on Weld fats/skinnies. How much does all that add up to? I guess i'm crazy to think that it's more than 200lbs? I know the AC pump is pretty damn heavy....so is the spare tire and jack, that's probably close to 100lbs alone.
Mine is barebones too, no AC, no power windows, no cruise.. the only options I have are power steering and electric mirrors...
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SMOKING?????????? His car is for sure under 3000lbs! He has everything done to his car (weight reduction wise) that i have done to mine and he is a coupe!!!!!!!!!!! I bet the thing weighs 28XX something with him in the damn car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Silly me I forgot I have a entire Mustang encyclopedia by Father in law bought me. Ok for the 85 year the coupe only actually wieghs 125lbs lighter then a GT.
Damn book doesn't give the ezact wieght though. Ok a 1979 Base coupe with a 2.3L in it wieghed 2431lbs. Thats lighter then the original 1964 1/2.
Nothing!!
Its hard to shave 500lbs though!
I believe I stated it was the lightest. And spell check is a free item!
Hmm I thought they were less than that. I thought they were 3175.No your fox hatch wieghs less then that my friend. Around 3380 lbs I believe.
Is there a spell check here somewhere? I am a horrible speller. I would use it for sure. But getting back to the wieght issue. You can see how the 4 eyes car could easilly be 2800lbs after you gut a little out of them. Heck mine would be right around that wieght with a full interior if I didn't install the 351w and the roll cage.
