no havent run one yet but i do know this a 5.7 L ran a 15.1 @bandimere about a week ago he weighed his and it said 4000 lbs on the scale wow heavy unitairfuelEddie wrote:VERY NICE!!! Have you 'run' one yet Drew?
alot of safety equipment,air bags etc.bigger wheels,electronics,bigger frame,and yes a larger body and probably some other things i dont know about, but from what people say the car rides nice and smooth, i hope to drive one some day and find out that is if some one will let me drive itJon wrote:Both cars looks sweet there Drew.
Any ideas where they gained so much tonnage on these new beasts. Can't be just the taller sheetmetal?
The wiring alone weighs 200-300 pounds and is the third heaviest component on the car. Until they convert to CAN wiring like a Mercedes or Audi it along with accessories bog it down. But yeah it's a big car! I still love em though, and that 6.1 is a whole nuther animal Drew! I dont think it's possible but a 6.1/ auto trannny, 'stripper' would be the way to go for a drag car kinda like the body in white S.S. they are/were building.drewcrane wrote:alot of safety equipment,air bags etc.bigger wheels,electronics,bigger frame,and yes a larger body and probably some other things i dont know about, but from what people say the car rides nice and smooth, i hope to drive one some day and find out that is if some one will let me drive itJon wrote:Both cars looks sweet there Drew.
