It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

I'd agree with the weights posted above... for a low/no option car.
My coupe weighed 3080 bone stock.

I thought the hellcats were getting up around 4400lbs?

If I had the choice of loosing 100 lbs off of the race car or gaining 100 HP, I would take the HP every time
