so basically, you're going to have a car that is on par weight wise with an early rabbit, be RWD, high torque, extremely rigid chassis, and a fantastic suspension setup.youngfg wrote:Yep, carbon fiber roof. The steel roof weighs 38lbs., the carbon roof will be around 6 lbs.
The only original XR body parts will be the A pillar/windshield support.
The last parts to be made are CF hatch, tailight panel, and cowl vent.
It looks like the car will come in under 2000 lbs. when it's finished, If I go with the 2.3 Duratec maybe only 1800 lbs.
sounds to me like you've got a winner there, gene. amazing.
original target weight was 2500 lbs, right?
