WHY is that? Traction may be one issue. Wieght? Quite possibly, the orginals in MOST cases wieghed less than they typical replica today. At the drag strip, wieght is HUGE factor. [/b]

Based on my experience, 100lbs = .10 in the 1/4 for cars weighing around 3000lbs. It's obviously oversimplifying the gains/losses, as it doesn't take into account unsprung weight accounting for more savings.

What's a typical replica weigh? I thought it would be around 2700lbs curb weight.
