So I had my car weighed.

[cbodybob]

Yes, I saw that. I am still going with 3550, no driver, half tank fuel (2.5 gal).

Ok I thouoht you meant gas tank as in half full. The fuel 92 pump was about 3 to 3 1/2 gallons.

 

[cbodybob]

I need to revise my answer.
3625 + you

Weight without driver.

 

[cbodybob]

I will give you guys a hint. I raced this similar (76 Charger)car many years ago. It was a street/strip car with a C body 440 in it & full interior. No cage or air parts. It was 3950. I expected the 77 Fury to be around 3700-3750 but it came in lighter than that.

 

[Budnicks]

OK so what the hell does it weigh ?

3699

3699

LOL
twice as much as half.....
No seriously I’ll spill the beans soon. Just wanted to see if more people wanted to give it a shot

 

[PRHeads]

My dads 79 ‘doba.....
360,727, 8-3/4, 6 point bar, full stock interior, converted to manual steering, Centerline wheels.
“Crash bumper” stuff removed.......
3960 w/230lb driver

I’d say your car....... 3475 w/o driver

 

[Cranky]

3800

Ok I’ll spill the beans. At Galot Motorsport Park it scaled at 3230 sitting on the scales engine running. Me not in it. I was quite skeptical. A couple weeks later at Piedmont Dragway it sat on the scale engine running. I’m standing next to the read out & it read 3230. And there’s over 100 pounds left to easily get at. So 3230 without driver. I’m 240 so on the line it weights 3470. I have a glass rear bumper for it yet to be installed. Lexan windshield & a spool will all help it more. Plus a little cutting & drilling n a few places.

Trim any bolt that sticks through a nut. Depending on how many of those you have will depend on weight savings. If you never parted a car, you have no idea how much all the fasteners weigh! Use aluminum or plastic fasteners in non key areas.....fiberglass parts don't need metal fasteners!

 

[Cranky]

I guess aluminum for the glass bumpers is a metal

 

[Badvert65]

3230 lbs? I would never have guessed it at that light. Those cars tend to be on the heavy side.

 

[bobtile]

Wow!
Dwayne nailed it!

Yep I agree. I was surprised.

 

[cbodybob]

Wow!

Who ? I didn’t see anyone within 100 pounds. Did I miss it

Sorry, he said without driver.

 

[Badvert65]

What sort of times are you getting with that combo?

 

[cbodybob]

What sort of times are you getting with that combo?

So far 8.71 twice on Just a few easy passes. Expect 8.40’s in the 1/8th. Maybe 8.30’s if i really turn the wick up.

3230 ! Am I too late?
