Major weighloss program - this month's sports compact car
 

just took a quick look on this month's sports compact car and this is somethign amazing.

they start with a 01 sentra se....1/4 runs 16.3

and then they did everything to make it lighter, I am not just talking about taking out the seat, spare tires, etc. they took out everything and I mean everything, include.....windows, doors, roof, hood, fenders, trunk...everything! bascially just a running engine, tranny and whatever necessary to get it running.

and guess how much did it go...it actually have a FAT 2 second increase on 1/4...end up a 14.3.



impressive.....now we dun need to spend money on mods.... :)

chicks will definitly dig the fact that they don't have to do their hair before the date! and the backseat will be perfect for some rubbin and racin too! lol:D

But just imagine stipping the 2k2 Max down. You're talking a 12 second car!

lol.. i dont even think it'll be legal to drive around on the streets when u strip it down that much

This whole article is sda. Make me want to go buy a 2K3 Cobra !

sure it will be. it just depends on what you yank out.
I guess, so long as it has a license plate, turn signals, etc :D

dun forget seat belts...
I bet the driver must eat some bugs, flys, after they did a run without the windshield.

My next mod is going to be 1,000 helium balloons tied to the top of my car!!!:D

Tony

Now *that's* an idea! :laugh:

Actually, That would add some drag. How about filling the tires with Hydrogen, that would lose a couple of pounds. Then make the inside airtight and you wear a scuba mask, and then fill the inside with Helium (I guess Hydrogen may explode). that should take about 50 lbs more off.

Yeah, but then your scuba tank will add additional weight to the equation :(

BTW: I bet can tow a sentra with my 2k2 & still get 16.3 hahaha...

G :cool:
