Re: weight reduction on my 84? make it faster?



Wing, replace your side and rear glass with lexan. You'll be truly amazed at
how heavy that stuff is. All that weight is up high above the center of
gravity, too. So, it's removal will pay dividends in handling as well as
acceleration/braking. You could also install a smaller racing batter and
save yoursef 20lbs or so.
