Too much! A lot of effort has been put into making it lighter, but per the rules it is an all steel, all glass, full interior, all cast iron motor, full exhaust, factory wheels and tires 71 duster with legal roll bar and 2x3 frame connectors. 90% of the standard go-to's for lightweight I can't do.

Congrats on your low timeslip.

I actually still hold the New Zealand F.A.S.T. record here with my now ex. 1970 Plymouth GTX.

Fresh from a photoshoot and not long after a major car show - absolutely as heavy as it could be - the only thing different between then and when it left the dealership in 1970 was a set of BFG tires. - 275x15 rear and 235x15 front. No frame connectors or fancy mods at all.....pure stock, pump gas only, and it ran a 14.1 quarter mile.

Enough for the win over a similarly decked out 6-BBL '70 'Cuda.

The class has never been run since then, probably because I won it :rolleyes: That was about 16 years ago now.
