[img]webkit-fake-url://7b3b8fe9-9d70-4698-93e9-d4d626239951/imagejpeg[/img]

My race car weights 2357 lbs wet when corner balanced. Half tank gas. W/o driver. Completely gutted with chromly cage. W pass seat. It's extremely hard to get under 2300 lbs. I have no extra coolers either and I do endurance and time attack events. Never needed extra coolers tbh. Btw the brides have been replaced with sparcos.

Speaking of seats we are actually about to start a seating chart test of all the seats we have in stock. I'm a heavier guy (5'10 215lbs) so i know how finding seats can be tough.
