I went to the track today and went on their scale...I came in at a nice, portly 4183lbs with me in the car, less than a 1/4 tank of gas, and the spare and toolkit. How in the world were you able to knock off so much weight!

I really hate the track that is near my house...most cars, especially forced induction cars, run about a half second slower than normal. My best time today was a 13.692 @ 102.47. Definitely slower than what I'm supposed to be at in optimal conditions.

I will post videos and more info tomorrow!
