I ran the car down to E today (which is probably 1/4 tank since my fuel gauge is wonky right now) and got no fuel starve on either left or right hand sweepers sustaining about 1.6Gs. Is my car just weird or do I just drive like a pussy? Don't worry, you won't hurt my feelings if you say the latter 
I've actually never had fuel starve on my car ever. I only started putting in more than half a tank recently coz of paranoia but now I don't know...maybe I should just run on E!? Is there some sequence of events prior to you guys starving?

Maybe you are one of those lucky guys that has one. Woot!!! I think it would be great to document your car and see if it is something that can be easily replicated... Maybe it can be done in all classes and we can finally get rid of this stupid fuel starve issue... leaving us with a glass axle and diff.

Got the CR tonneau cover today, tossed it on the scale, weighs 10 lbs. I thought it would weigh a little less. The trim pieces I took off weighed 6 lbs so 4 lbs isnt so bad. The seat belt reels I took off were almost 10lbs together. I have yet to remove the ac evaporator, but its only around 5 lbs tops. Either way, breaking the 2500lb mark is going to require running less than a full tank of gas!
Also, what are we and are we not allowed when it comes to the fuel system? After some research with my local parts guy, I found the early AP1 tanks do not have the slosh trey. Can we run a surge tank? Some have swapped over to AP1 fuel setup with return lines. What is involved there? Im trying to find the best way to run less fuel...
A little teaser since everyone else has pretty pics of their cars!
