ive never had any luck with the old geezers. And to think i could come here and make mustang bros but nope.
I like to think about a couple of things when removing weight. 1. Where is it in relation to where I need the weight? 2. Is the weighted part doing enough to be worth keeping it? I think we covered #2 (and spread enough #2 to feed plenty of trolls tacos for a long time!)forzalife said:THANK YOU for your contribution
the scaling of a car is more important then how it transfers. if we drop below anything around 50% on the nose is worthless for us... needs to be north of 53. the nitrous car honestly needs to be near 60%I like to think about a couple of things when removing weight. 1.

So does that rear piece of steel put weight in a good place? For drag racing, it is not just about the total weight, but weight transfer for traction. The rear bumper is not exactly over the rear wheels, but it is close enough to help traction too. Tubular front suspension, k member, front fascia support, moving the battery correctly, and fiber front bodywork are more expensive and probably more effective weight reduction transfer efforts. The thumpin' sub might help traction off the line but not acceleration. I have to have a stereo, so for now I have the best speakers I can afford in the stock locations. If you run Flowmasters and no cats, that may not be enough stereo. Then a stereo delete might became good idea.

but what do i know. im an old geezer
yup... keep that front end strapped down and let her eat!Back before sticky tires, a wheelie was good. (Dinosaur days) Now too much front end lift is wasted energy.
So how close is the stock front/rear weight ratio to 50/50 on a stock stang? He should have some wiggle room, right? If you are hardcore, there is always the spray on sound deadener and carpet insulation to remove.
turbo car AND the nitrous car actually....Agreed, just not at my expense lol. You guys have a turbo car to fix don't you?
Exact same happened in modded mustangs forum idk why the forum people cant stand me but on fb its all good
I remember one time when my friend came over my Dads house with his new (to him) 37 chevy 3 window coupe. It was beautiful!! We were admiring it and I saw a paint run on the side. I pointed it out. My Dad calmly took me inside the house and then proceeded to school me in respect and etiquette. I'll never do that again. This is a message to you @forzalife
