Default Weight Reduction 2,680 lbs

I had the car weighed again, just before it gets the roll cage installed. The car now weighs-in at 2,680 lbs. Granted there are still quite a few things that will be cut-out and lightened, I think I'll be able to remove another 100 lbs, which would make it about 400 lbs lighter than OEM. Based on my calculations, this should equate to about 40 more HP and 34 more ft. lbs. of torque. Anyone want to double check my calcs ?

Not such a funny statement. If you didn't know, the roadster weighs 60+ lbs more than the coupe'.

Not to worry, I was just shocked to find out the roadster weighed more... But I'll bet the balance of the car with the top down is about 50/50.
