stangman said:no way is it as strong as the stocker. waaaay too much mass difference in the two to be the same strength. although the tubular one is very strong.

white96blown2v said:actually this is not correct, don't get angry ,the factory unit is made to absorb an impact . its design is structured for a frontal crash , tubular metals are much stronger but don't have the give of flat or boxed metal. Think of it this way if factory steel was better or stronger John Force would be still be using it. And stock cars would be stock as well.
stangman said:ok let me rephrase. the tubular piece is definately stronger pound for pound. but the stock piece is going to hold up better in a crash, just like you explained. which was the point i was trying to get across, i just worded it wrong

hotmustang331 said:It saves weight becase the stock A arms are HUGE. You can even see how big they are in that pic in pg 1. They are kidof in the back ground. Like said, all of that should get a good 60LBS or 4 "stones" off of the front of your car....nothing worse than carrying around 4 extra stones under your hood LOL.
Stones pounds and ounces.DerekStangGT said:15 stone? im thinkin ~200lbs
what did you do to lose 90 lbs?ADRENLN said:ive taken about 90 lbs off the gt so far, and i can feel a difference. its not huge, but the car does definatly feel more peppy. it can mostly be felt once the car is moving, it seems to excelerate faster.
im hoping to lose about another 90 pounds with some mods im planning for next year.
DerekStangGT said:actually, the general rule of thumb is ~10rwhp=.01 in the 1/4 and every 100 lbs lost=.01 in the 1/4. i would love to be able to shave 100lbs off the stang, but that won't happen w/o major work. what i was just looking for were little things i could do to make the GT feel a little peppier.
hell yeah!!!!!!!!97v6Silver said:you could just beilt a lightweight car out of tubular aluminum and drop a stang motor in it and put a few stang emblems on it
