Overall Weight
What are we going to have to do to get rid of some of the weight, these things are carrying 4100Lbs with an aluminum head small block, its a bit extreme, the weight needs to come down into the 3600Lb range to get it competitive with the Camaro and Mustang.
It looks too me as if the thing will have to stripped to the unibody and cut heavily, the techno crap front and rear suspensions both will have to go and an aftermarket IRS set up for the rear and the front will simply just have to be custom made, all the tractin control crap is gotta go its just dead weight.
Its a shame we'll have to spend 30-40000 just to get the weight down, we are already at a disadvantage in the power department since their just isnt enough aftermarket performance support for the new semi hemi engines, the only bright spot in the drivetrain is we might get the T56 from the viper line.
It may just be me but did they not understand the horsepower to weight thing ?
