I finally got around to weighing my car, and I figure I will be somewhere around a 3600-3650 lb. race weight. Is it feasible to run 10's at this weight? Thanks!
 
Yes it is. You have the goods for your goal. Myself, i believe heavily(no pun intended!) in being light. In my case about 3465.
 
3650 with my ultra slim self in it........lol......just kidding I aint ultra slim....lol.....ultra chunky more like it.

I hear azgn! ET's will be a risin' after christmas! Too bad I weigh 290#'s, my car was only 3360, with the boom boom box in the trunk, half tank of gas, and some junk in the car. I've been working out, maybe can get down to a racer friendly weight by summer. Thanks for the input guys.
 
this is kinda a loaded question since the weight is greatly affected by the amount of fuel in the tank.

At BG this year I weighed in after every run. at the begining of the week, 3670 by the time finals came on Saturday 3610. this is with me in it.

I think it is possable to run 10.99 at 3600 ;)
 
When I was running 10.90's with my production motor setup, the car weighed in at 3655 with me in it. Last year and this year, with the 274 in it, the car weighed 3670 with driver. I always tried to keep 10 gallons in the stock tank. Should be lighter by BG 03 tho. Just gotta get to work on her.
Later...
