Im trying to get a low 12 second run, 11's if im lucky. motor makes 230-250 all motor. Im thinking my FC will be to heavy to do it stock chassis and i dont want to cut it up.

should i just trade my FC for a 1st gen body and go from there? weights killing me.

I forget what my s5 GXL weights but I seem to remember it being around 2300lbs with only minor weight reduction. There is alot you can do to lighten it up, but a lot of it requires fabrication or money. 2100 is stretching it, but I'm fairly confident I could pull 200lbs out of my car if I was willing to sacrifice comfort.
