It was a well built car and pretty light. I’m sure I could have gotten it to be lighter. It had stock seats and a weight box. Aftermarket seats, no weight box would save some weight. It had a full cage. Full carpeting. One 30-40lb battery.

I weigh around 150

The LT-1 HP rating is pretty high and your at a disadvantage in any class to some other cars.

They were way underrated when new but got hammered over the years.

Not many out there that run with the class competition
When Woodro got his Firebird it was an H/SA to start out.
