Not Ranked
Whle I was at Kirkhams today, we weighed a CSX4xxx car minus engine and transmission. We weighed a Kirkham 427 with a steel frame minus engine and transmission and a Kirkham 427 with stainless frame and several lightweight goodies minus engine and trans. I did not write the numbers down, so I will let David post the numbers, but I was really surprised at how much less the Kirkhams weighed. The lightweight car actually had me (us) checking twice to make sure that the forks from the forklift were clear from the frame of the car and the full weight was on the scales. David went to great lengths to make sure that the cars had equal equipment (batteries, fuel regulators, nuts and bolts to hold the parts, etc...).
Kirkhams make a great product and work hard to make it better. Some people don't think that is the way to go but it makes sense to me.
