A few days ago I was able to get with the new general manager at the Sikeston Dragstrip now known as Jeffers Motorsports Park. They set up the 4 corner scales and weighed my car with me in it. I have always posted the car was 4,000lbs but several times on here it always came into question. It actually made me second guess myself that the car wasn't being weighed correctly. I have tried to keep this car as original "looking" as possible. It has the stock rally rims, full interior to include horse shoe shifter, stock steering wheel, and front factory bucket seats. It has a stereo system that I may take out because I rarely use it. The car was weighed with me in it, my helmet on, a half tank of fuel and a car seat in the back. This is exactly how I drive it. We pulled everything else out of the car. The car has full 3" exhaust going out the back and dumping right under the rear axle. The only fiberglass on the car is the hood and the front bumper. I hate the hood and plan to put a steel one back on it.
The car weighed in at 4079lbs. Again this was done by the General Manager at the dragstrip if anyone feels the need to verify. At that weight I may have to rethink my goals for this year and may just have to be happy with it running 5.60's until I can eventually build me a fully forged LS and run some real boost.
