730RWHP12A is on a distinguished road
two more teaser pics

some of the stuff i removed or swapped out for lighter parts

bumper supports
headlight motors
air conditioning
swapped out factory radiator for aluminum unit
everything behind the dash is gone
all tar has been removed throughout the car
hood swapped out for carbon fiber unit that weighs 7 pounds
rear glass/ side windows swapped out with lexan
door support bars have been removed
aluminum front hubs/ lightweight brakes installed front and rear
lightweight aluminum wheels were fitted all around
rear sway bar is gone
30 pound battery swapped out for a 2.2 pound lithium ion battery
im sure there is more but thats the main stuff i can think of at the moment.

the car would be lighter if it didnt have the heavy mustang rear end or the G-Force tranny along with the 28 pound flywheel but i need it for drag
