stichy Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 ok, in thinking of keeping my zed, its been for sale for a couple of months and had no real offers. so im know thinking of turning the zed into my track car. but i think the zed is just to heavy, what is the weight of a std car? hand how light do you think i could her down to? and i mean no dash(custom) ,full cage. full weight loss and i cant find any where that sells weld in cages.

ATTAK Z Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 reducing weight ? ........... I'd start with the tailgate as it's quite heavy & non-structural Quote
