Car Weighed: Results
As promised, I took the car to the local dirt track to be weighed on the scales. The car was in street spec (first picture on MRT) with the passenger seat, stock steelies all around, and a full tank of gas.
The scale read between 2552lbs and 2565lbs, so I am going to average that out to 2560lbs. That's a little higher than I expected, but there are more things I can do to lighten the car (stripping the tar, removing window motors, replacing glass with plexi, replacing hood and trunk with carbon fiber, etc.)
With a quarter tank at the track, car in race spec, and the passenger seat out, I expect the car to weigh around 2460lbs*** Think of others before thinking of yourself. ***

They do, in complete stock spec that is. Check out my first post if you haven't yet. I've stripped quite a bit out.*** Think of others before thinking of yourself. ***

Yeah, that thread...
Domesticated was at 2955, now he looks like he's down to 2800 ish.
Once I started gutting the car, I didn't stop until I didn't know how to remove something or I wasn't sure what would happen when I did. It was addicting for sure.*** Think of others before thinking of yourself. ***

I would love to drive the Hellcat and see what a 700hp blown Hemi feels like. I also am excited to see them hit the drag strip at which I race. I just can't believe the arguing that went down over there, mostly between h22sparkle and shadow1. I wish that thread was closed two days ago.

That's the oldest picture on my MRT, taken back in about May of 2013. I wish the catapult wasn't in the way, but it's the oldest picture I had of the CB on my PC.
The story behind the trebuchet (French design for a catapulting weapon): a student that I had been tutoring since 2011 was in physics her senior year, and she needed help with the catapult project in the class. She got the materials and assembled most of it herself with the help of an engineer her parents hired (lots of money floating around). My job was to help her perform the test launches and tweaks to the device required by the project description. All the testing payed off, as hers launched a potato the farthest out of all the physics classes that year: 60m*** Think of others before thinking of yourself. ***
