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?

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 it :s024:

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. :s003:
