Lightweight Axles

John Mason · 10-15-2010, 03:49 PM

Several years ago I put the whole lightweight rear package in my 3600 lb. A/SA Camaro. Aluminum spool, lightened ring and pinion, rifle drilled axles with all extra metal removed from the flanges, titanium studs, etc. Took 24 lbs of rotating weight out, put 24 lbs in the box.
Total improvement was ----------------------- nothing!!!!!!!
Nothing in 60', 330' or anywhere else.
Might be some help in a lightweight car with a low torque engine, I don't know, but no one I have talked to ever said they picked up anything except a lighter wallet.
