Not Ranked
Rick, This car is a fat pig!!!!!!!! It has over 100 ft of 2 by 2 tubing and over 120 ft of 1 by 1 tubing in it. All of the tubing on this prototype is 1/8th wall. And, the suspension pick up plates and other brackets are 3/16 or 1/4, depending on application. I just had it on racing scales and the chassis with the aluminum panels weighs exactly 520 lbs. The body weighs 172lbs. So, I think that even with out my fat 230lbs the car will weigh around 2100lbs in street trim. Future chassis will use .083 wall tubing in non suspension cradle applications and I have plans for a light weight carbon fiber/fiberglass hybrid body. This should reduce weight by about 180lbs. Still not a featherweight, but getting closer!!
I am bringing the car in complete street trim with street tires, 275 in front, 295 in rear. I am running street springs too! The engine is a stock 405hp, brakes are stock too. I am hoping for a smooth and competent driver. But, It will not beat all of you guys in your race cars!!!!
Rick, I look forward to seeing you!!! john
