Here is the plans/current progress of my drag car. It is a 91 Dodge Stealth RT/TT AWD- "Project Perverse"

This is what I have removed so far to shave weight:

Steering wheel w/ airbag ~ 9 pounds
Diver Seat ~ 57 pounds
Passenger Seat ~ 44 pounds
Rear seat with both back rests ~ 26 pounds
Complete AC system ~ 29 pounds
Rear wiper assem. and washer fluid reservoir(full) ~ 9 pounds
Complete Audio (double DIN head unit, speakers, power antenna) ~ 18 pounds
Complete interior minus the dash (headliner, all molding, door cards) ~ 38 pounds
Sound deadening material ~ 15 pounds (removed from bottom of trunk, directly under front seats and rear seats, rear wheel wells)
Empty Fuel Tank ~ 33 pounds

Some of these items will be replaced with lightweight parts. I will also be getting a FG hood and FG hatch and doing lexan all the way around.....eventually.

i had a VR4 running 22+lbs. of boost...

then i got married....:D

to clarify: i'm glad i did...but i miss the car;)


Thanks man! And I know the feeling. (divorced...lmao) Though it looks like you have a beautiful truck!
 
Good Luck w/your project! I have a 1989 Chrysler Conquest TSi (aka Mitsubishi Starion ESI-R) that's build up and provides a similar rush to my SRT-10, but with TURBO POWER!
 
I just had to. :D

So true....for most people. Haha. This isn't my first Turbocharged car. Though I will admit....it is not an easy car to work on.
 
Are you going to keep it AWD? Should be cool to line up and do a burn out with all 4 :D
 
My guess is that it will weigh about 3400lbs when it is all done. Still debating on keeping it AWD. If I switch it to RWD, I will be able to shed some wieght and some drivetrain loss but not sure if it will be enough to benefit over the added traction of the AWD. Plus, it would be could to see a Stealth lift the front end a little. But, I think she will stay AWD....at least for a while.

Haha....no more perfect donuts for this guy. Deleting the All Wheel Steering soon. Though I did a couple when I first got the car. Good times!
