Turk,
That is a good idea. We will weigh CSX4308 tomorrow and compare it to one of our cars without an engine that has all of our latest light weight parts. We simply haven't had a chance to do it so I will be glad to add those numbers to my weight data base.
Fortunately, we have one of our light weight cars already ready for delivery on Friday when Rich Lacy will be here to pick up 3 more cars for California.
I have NEVER said there is no difference between a Kirkham and a Shelby. There have ALWAYS been differences between the cars. Today, there are clear differences between the cars and the companies.
You said, "Somehow now you lost 300 pounds." My reference was to our weight loss over an orignal car. Our light weight car is 300 pounds lighter than an original car with iron heads, block, and flywheel. I simply posted the weights, including the composition of the engines on the various cars we have weighed. I have only said I think our car, not counting the engine and transmission, is probably 150 pounds lighter than an original car. Regardless, tomorrow we will know the weight difference between on our our latest cars and a CSX4000 cars. I am very curious to find the differences in the weight.
I never said CSX4000 is an original car. My entire discussion was based on the improved handling of our light weight small block car compared to an original car with an iron block, heads, flywheel etc. I am quite aware of what an original car is.
