Weight reduction?

[f00g00]

A freind I work with over here has a 50th anniversery vette that on his last vacation put in a set of AFR heads with Manley titanium valves comp cams double beehive springs a larger throttle body and air intake and the car dynoed at 420 some odd HP and he gets over 30 MPG on the freeway!!! My mother in laws 4 banger cobalt only gets about 27.5 for gods sake. Those stas are with AC. Vettes are defenitley not left behind.

And i forgot to mention the zo6 is putting out 488-490 hp at the wheels from the box. Chevy seems to do this with a lot of cars...

Back to the topic, you can remove the charcoal canister and use a vented gas cap as well not much but every little thing counts.

I just took the charcoal canister out and hooked the line up to a vaccum port with an inline fuel filter(rc car type). Doesnt seem to affect anything. I love the supras....I wish they didnt have to make them so dam heavy. I would honestly say there isnt much weight you can get rid of without sacraficing something. What you can do is make use of all the extra metal and weld everything inside the car...Any seam you see. Which would require you taking the whole car apart...But that and some Beefed up susepnsion parts and good shocks and springs and you have a very stiff and stable car. I was wondering...Does anyone know the weight balance of a the stock mk3? And i dont mean like factory ratings, someone getting the car weighed persoanlly. I know at e-town they give you a free weigh in with f/r and total weight. And like dry...no passengers or gas. I know they advertised the rx7 as being perfect 50/50 with 2 passengers and a full tank of gas, But that doesnt count.
