i have also seen carbon fiber hoods for 2 gens too. but they are way too exspensive.

So, does the weight make that big of a difference?

get rid of your back rims and tires, run open axle cuts like 5 seconds off your 1/4

if you pull enough off yes it does. i doubt you would notice much under 80-100lbs though

You don't even feel the first 100lbs.But if you pull about 150-200 off what you usually drive with then you'll start to really notice it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif
