    thats amazing :bowdown: That is super light. What does it run?

    apoligy accepted for your sons comment :D I found it not funny at all....but I guess I am losing my sense of humor in my old age or just getting tired of all the fighting that is going on here at .to
    again, very impressed with the weight of the car and if you have pictures I would really enjoy seeing them (y)

    My Car weighs 2,910 without me in it with a Half cell of gas (about 8 gallons) I have a 6 point cage, full interior and a 9" rearend that adds to the weight. I have aluminum heads, But the tunnel ram and 2- 4bl. set up with the hilborn scoop make the weight saving right back up.

    Don't worry...I tell everyone I weigh every bit of 84 pounds, two or three times over...:rofl2:keeps my car "light"

    I was told mine was 2600-2700 lb. range (without me of course)...i've since put the Comet on a diet (easier than me giving up cheeseburgers)

    Reading this thread is depressing me...
    I only used to cost my car 18.5 rwhp by driving it.
    Nowadays I lose 24 rwhp just by getting in, and I have a whole lot less engine in this Mav... :(
