How's that ? Just trying to show how to "go fast" on the cheap.Like I need "self promotion" HERE ? LOL
So you seriously suggested a guy lose 1000lbs on a foxbody?
Then you post a picture of your car to prove it's possible?
Either you were promoting your car or you don't know enough about foxes to give advice.
Not a whole lot of good options for you in this situation.
Let's just say he could lose 300lbs, which is a stretch without ruining the car (and you suggest 700lbs more).
That's .3 in the quarter. Hardly any gains to brag about.
That's quite the Strong accusation.Coming from someone I don't even know,and doesn't know me .So whats the real problem ? IF, I ,were to do some "self promotion" it would be with a twin Supercharged 427,Not a Little 302 !
Something I learned (back in the 60s when I bought my first muscle cars). Fast Cars are just like the "old West" days. IT Doesn't matter how fast you are,there is Always someone Faster
Look, I have nothing against you or your car (which I happen to like), but your input in this thread was completely unwarranted. All you gave for advice was lose 1000lbs, which is completely unrealistic and posting a picture of a what is a race car for the street that has a fox drivetrain.
You post a link to a weight loss article from a retailer, that says exactly what I just said to you, 100lbs per .1.
If you dumped the entire interior and every part that wasn't necessary to move a fox, I bet it would still weigh 2700lb+ and you would be left with is a slow ass race car. Weight loss is a terribly way to make a fox quicker, not only does it ruin the car, but parts are crazy expensive. It's cheaper to make more power.
So it's not hard for someone to come to the conclusion that you were either out to pimp pics of your car (there is a time and place for that) or you have no idea what is possible in a foxbody. Either way as I said before, neither is a good look.
I was hoping when you originally posted, it was a mistimed joke, but as you went back and forth with toolow, I began to think otherwise.
I don't know what you guys are going on about. Here's an example of some minor weight reduction to take about 700 lbs off of a stock C5 Corvette. The OP could very easily do the same thing
