Probably cause its all fiberglass. Oh wait a sec, It's a vette. My bad. I'm thinking more like S/S. It'll have head lights before it goes to the track. It's a full interrior, stock glass w/ chromoly cage.

Nthe5S somethings have to stay secret, but it is a bbc w/ powerglide. Mike, I sold the chevelle back to its original owner who raced it as a super stocker for 25+ yrs. He found me & made me a good offer + it went to a good home. I asked him if I could have 1st chance to buy it back & his comment was it got away once. This time they'll barry him in it. LOL!

heck a mildly built 468 in a car that weight with a glide = 6.0's pretty easily I would think. Got to love those vettes...I would like to have one as well but as it goes,we build what we have and dream it is something else.lol

Rollingthunder I was I'm pressed w/ your car all year. To do what you did w/ I know had to be 1 of the heaviest cars there was impressive. What do those stangs weigh 3600 or so?

yes.. it weights right around 3700 w/o me. It is all steel and completely there(interior and all). It is just something that has morphed into what it is. Just a street driver a few years back. Then as I got older and other busier it along with my trans-am spend alot of time in the garage resting for the day they get to come out and play  . I hope my 87 gt mustang is a fierce runner next year. It is a complete interior car as well with little ole 275-60-15 drag radial. It is still (and always be) completely street legal. Goals with it are to be in the 5's next season if I get on the ball and get it together. I really did the big tire cars (even had one for a short time) and love the older vettes as well. You got both in one shot. Hope it performes the way you want next year |

It should. We'll see. Corvettes are actually heavey cars. 77 vettes were 3600Lbs in stock trim. Its a good car w/ a lot of potential. The chevelle I raced last year was 3360 lbs w/ out me in it. It was a heavey car to. That's why I respect the lead sleds.

i guess I didn't realize they were that heavy. i figured it would be around 2900 race weight. either way nice looking ride.
