I was just curious on how possibly removing the backseats, spare tire/jack would effect my quarter mile times. Would there be any realistic difference? I'm trying to decide if its worth it next time I go to the track

Re: curious about weight reduction
depends on how fast(or slow) you car is right now. Personally, I always remove the spare/jack before racing -
Re: curious about weight reduction
according to what i have heard... every 100 lbs you take off a car gives you an extra 1/10 in the quarter. im getting ready to find out just how true that is!Comment

Re: curious about weight reduction
My old car ran a 15.868 fully loaded. My next time out to the track, I removed the rear and passenger seats, spare/jack, and ran on a 1/4 tank of gas. The E/T dropped to a 15.489. So yes, removing those items does make a difference.Originally posted by skatr\'98 Camaro - SOLD<br />Best E/T: 15.489 @ 86.48 MPH<br />60\': 2.131<br /><a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/skorpion317\" target=\"_blank\">members.cardomain.com/skorpion317 </a><br />1998 Saturn SL2<br />Official <a href=\"http://www.njdisturbance.com\" target=\"_blank\">NJ Disturbance</a> bracket racerComment
