That is a post I made about the reductions I have made. Lots of places in a foxbody to drop the weight.

Modular2,wasnt this more of a drag car?

If you go with a C4 you will drop close to 50lbs there.A C4 is only bout 80lbs!

Chop the top off.

Edit:I hope you know I wast kidding,cause If you actualy chop the top off your mustang off....I dont know I guess youd be pretty cool then,until it rains that is.

heads, k member, f-glass hood, wheels, at least the front for drag racing, pass seat, ac, emissions(don't know what you have left), also the actual bumper and accessories if racing, but if driven then leave on. If you're fat, you can lose some weight lol.
