Leather Interior question

[93Akkord]

I was thinking about re-doing my interior and was wondering how much weight leather would add on. How much would it effect how quick my car is. I don't want to sacrafice speed that much.

in all reality i cant see that this is going to drastically reduce 1/4 mile times but it might make a noticeable difference.....

the leather doesn't effect things much. it's the seats both front and rears that makes the weight gains.

[Ralphie]

yea i was gonna say do the leather and when its time to do time attack rip the seats out...too easy!!!

what about a random street race?

I shouldn't notice that much of a differance right? my friend is telling me not to do it cause I will get noticably slower.

[Ralphie]

If your ca is so slow that your woried about weight then you should not be racing... i always race full intirior and have never noticed a difference.

I've compared CB cloth seats to CB leather seats and there isn't much of a difference, it may add to alittle more, but it won't be much.

[93Akkord]

I like the flt comparison lol...

my cars not slow..I have an H22 and everything. I just wanted to know before I invested lol

[kmart64]

lol it won't make a difference...it *might be like adding like 5-8 lbs at the most

[Ralphie]

deff invest pimp!! You wont be sorry!

if you take a nice ig dump before the race, you'll make up about half of the weigh gain. throw out the change in the ash tray and get the crap out of your trunk to make up the rest.

I went from cloth to leather. the difference isnt noticable.
