regardless of weight ill still kick your *** in a drag or run through the mountains. that is, once i get traction, so you will have a false sense of victory for a short period of time.

Little smoke wont hurt.


Now I didnt want to get into the whole weight disscusion, and they will BS me about this, but.
I don't believe that Jons rx7 weighs <2500, I was there looking at the gauge the whole time, it read 2600 most of the time and flickered down to 2400-something the rest of the time. Jon was on the scale then walked off the scale, thats when the flickering happened.

I call for a redo, make sure the scale is zeroed, and "your" off the scale, and let it sit a while, then print out the result.

But I'm not an expert at rx7 weight reduc. yet. So until then I am skeptical.

no, we didnt have it zeroed out the first time we weighed it, and it showed 26xx lbs.. after we got it properly zeroed out, it was 2460 lbs

nice. yours is a little foward- biased, which is normal.. for some reason mine was heavier in the rear?? maybe cause of the battery relocation and full gas tank
