Estimated, 700. and where do you get that weight? my LX notchback weighed in at a hair over 3100 by itself with the 302block in it, no driver.

And it takes more than a HP number to run that fast.

you can shed a lot of weight on a fox body. sure, it wouldnt be a practical DD, it would be a street legal race car, but 2500lb sans driver is not hard to reach with a early fox

That was with a drivers seat and zero interior trim and no passenger seats.

In a gutted race car , With lexan, aluminum subframe, manual brakes, zero dash, liggtweight panels, some unibody cutting, ect....Yea that weight is possible, But that much of the lightweight vehicle is going to raise your price a good bit.


And nobodys running that fast at a track without a certified cage. Which is going to make it heavier

N20jeep

my point is your 5k number is just not going to cut it in the real world.

I'm looking at a Geo Metro online then I think someone wanted to build a sleeper Geo Metro. Then someone else has another idea and another person has their own idea. Before you know it $50,000 vista cruiser... Hey look an alien...

IMO the olds wagon would be alot cooler than a fox body mustang.

OK back to topic!

Just lol'd! Damm I love the interwebs!!

Admittedly I might not go that extreme (though I would if money wasn't an issue), I do plan to build a sleeper of some kind (I've been going back and forth between 60-70s wagons or an 80s Caprice or LTD/CrownVic, and a big-block or an LS engine), it will likely be 4-5 years out (once I get my Mustang paid off, unless I get a massive raise or win the lottery, lol).

Well the Metro sold before I could get a chance to look at it. Just gonna keep an eye out for other cars.

Find her a civic that has not been riced out,It will be a better car in the long run then a metro.

My X had a Metro when we met I drove it a decent bit. It was a turd.

She called it "the pregnant roller skate" & "the egg on wheels".

A civic would be a nice car to get. But it is hard to find a stock one. We are in no rush so we'll see what comes up for sale.
