    Default The Formula sees the scales

    Was curious what the 94 is right now and it is 2628lbs. With a guess of about 400lbs to go back plus me and we are real close to the 3200 race weight we were shooting for.

    Thankfully some Pontiac folks pulled up their anchors that were firmly planted in the past and started to explore new uncharted waters.

    I think you will find that the IA is closer to the weight of a BBC around 550. Plus tranny.

    I hadn't thought that way but I bet your right, man your smart. There is something to be said that it is good to think out side the Pontiac box

    What all have you done to the body to lighten your car? Are you still running all the original glass? any weight removed from the supports for the bumper covers? I am going to go look at a minitubed 93 TA tomorrow and I am interested in what a final weight might be with my 428 in it.

    Most of this is covered on other posts, but basically all the wiring has been removes, stock seats, dash, steering column have been replaced with lighter stuff and all of the glass is stock.
