Nice Car Eric. You have done a great job with the car and you haven't been such a dick lately. What happened you get saved or something?

Eric, I have to let the cat out of the bag!!, sorry,

Anyway guys, you see, that car really isn't a fd, it's really a minicooper gutted and then fiberglassed over to look like a fd. Lupe also stole the paint from Nasa that actually weights less than 10 cent per gallon. The tires are off of the sr71 blackbird(they still haven't notice the tires gone yet btw) and finally he has a full lightened semi titanium/carbonfiber engine that was built by Steve who really is a martian from jupiter excapating around has one of the great tuners we have today. So there you have it guys...and thats the Truth


Sorry Lupe, hope you forgive me some day.

Hell, I about fell in the floor laughing at that Jeff. I was expecting something about his left pec muscle weighs more than his car

Thanks for posting the video, hard to doubt that.

Congrats on the weight. Very impressive accomplishment on an already light car.

There is a cage in my car (2inch tubing ). I'm swapping that out for a lighter 1 5/8 o.d.x .118 mild steel tubing cage. Also, I have a harness and big brakes on the car.

I drive in a straight line, therefore I don't need the rest

I thought MMonaco was light as hell with everything he did for weigh reduction and he will probably weigh about 2450 lbs. Didn't you loose the majority of the weight with the Ford 9" rear?
