<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (sharkev)</div><div class='quotemain'>3. I will try to get rid of the weight that I have ( spare tire, subwofer, Tricket, and maybe the back seat ) i think that my tricket ( dont know if its the exact word ) weights around 50 pounds..... is the kind of hydraulic lifter.</div>

does this mean you where racing with a floor jack in your trunk??

Just to make sure - the track is 1320 feet, and not some different metric length, right?

My 16.0 was with the backseats and passenger seat and the rest of the interior intact. I did have the spare tire and jack out. I'm fairly sure with the backseats and passenger seat out with a little added stripping I could've managed a 15.9.

so it not going to be a lot of help if I get out the jack floor and the spare tire, right?

well, i ´m going to try that, and i´m in the middle of tune up my car, change the spark plugs, maybe the SPW too. and i´m going to change the oil for a synthetic and maybe, maybe i´m going to change the wheels for a smaller ones.


and about the track, and not sure about that length, but it supose to be a 1/4 mile, i will check that, and i will let you guys know about this. ( maybe this is the problem, lol I hope it would )

If its any consolation, I was running consistent 18.9's at my drag strip in the 1/4.

Stock 2001 Auto tib. Run when it was 6 months old.

Airport here is 3533 feet above sea level.

Most people in the US can stand to lose about 50lbs from their gut.

The passenger seat is about 40lbs.
