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

["Christian Els" <tiAn@usiw.net>]

That value stamped into the door plate is the manufacturer's maximum gross
vehicle load - most weight you can put in the car with stock tires and still
operate it 'safely'.

It corresponds with absolutely nothing in the real world, including curb
weight (much less) or actual maximum capacity (much higher, should you
wish).

Cheers,
