Side impacts cut out of both doors said to weigh in at about -50lbs


So by doing so you gain what? It's 10 horsepower per 100lbs so with 50lbs less that would be 5 extra ponies... So you're going to make your car that much faster at the expense you're safety and possibly your life or the poor  that happens to be sitting in the passenger seat. :nono:

BTW that would also be one hell of lawsuit if you're passenger was injured/killed.
1987 Tbird 5.0 swap, go fast mods coming soon....

Dont let anyone change your mind about "painting" your car.  If it makes you happy go for it.  You can always change it back or to something different later if you want. 

For what its worth, I didnt care much for the color scheme on your last car.  But its all part of your journey, not mine  ;)

A friend of mine in highschool had a mid 80's toyota pickup that he liked to spraypaint. It had neon green racing stripes along with the grille on a dark blue body. Then it had neon orange racing stripes with the grille painted the same. Everyone made fun of him but he never cared. He liked it. He also liked loading the interior up with cheap tweeters that sounded terrible. Some people just have no taste. Have you ever seen someone do a "mile long" burnout? This guy held the brakes just enough to let the car roll while doing a brakestand and continued on like that for around a mile. He thought he was soo cool and made sure everyone knew that his car could smoke the tires for a whole mile.

OK The column shifter does not want to go into park and my E brake does not work but the car is FAST. The aeorbird gt had a mind of its own this car seems to be the same except its faster.
