2loudisjustright Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 haha my paint alone is almost 30lbs. theres 18 coats and the rally stripes Reallly??? Pull your car on some scales. I think you will be surprized. the problem is that I did.......and i was definitely surprised....at how heavy it was........... Well, if i had a chevelle that weighed in at 5500 pounds, i would sell that thing so fast it would make your head swim. I got a 65 impala, which is a much bigger car with all original steel except for a fiberglass hood that only weighs around 4000 pounds. Quote 2000 zx2: Rebuild with 8 12s on a 10k underway!!

vettedude102 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 When I put the system in my car it slowed it down a little bit. Which it's 300+ lbs. I'm afraid to check the gas mileage on it because I was getting 9 before the system. Whenever I get it going again I'll check it.

I got a 65 impala, which is a much bigger car with all original steel except for a fiberglass hood that only weighs around 4000 pounds. yea, i was really surprised, its about 1000lbs heavier than it was stock because I had to get this brand new gas tank that was so heavy the shipping was almost $400......... There was so must rust on the bottom I had to weld in a ton of new heavy steel for the undercarriage. And the Muncie 4-spd was really heavy as well as the new engine pieces and the new oil pan to stop the leak, it had to be so heavy to withstand all the heat the other one melted and warped and leaked like crazy when the car was running. And I had to get a bunch of heavy duty brackets to fit all the malibu pieces in it.

Everytime I see a guy driving a mini cooper I cant help but think he loves cock & (2/29/16)-My wife just bitched at me about throwing out things we don't really use. My response of well we don't really use your vagina so should we throw that out was evidently not the right response. I had to leave the room. I missed Alan. RIP 5/29/15 - I love you son.
