New Car Weights

GUMP · 01-25-2009, 04:21 PM

I have seen a couple of protests on here about the race weights that have been submitted for some of the late model cars and would love to hear some more opinions on the subject.

I will admit that the race weight for my LT1 Firebird is pretty light, but no lighter than a comparable small block 1969 Camaro. There is a ton of safety and convenience stuff on cars today that just wasn't available back then. None of it is required to run Stock, so why should it be included in the shipping weight?

What do you guys think?

Thanks,

Daren
