Borrowed some scales to weigh the car and kill our own curiosity.. 2948-2950lbs with driver.. Anthony is 230lbs.. NSCRA requires 2900lbs so we have around 50 to shed to be as light as possible...
All those light parts were missing and stock parts add up.. Steel FMIC Piping, Buschur Front member, Mustache Bar, Side supports, Driveshaft, Stock Rear Brakes and Ebrake, Stock trunk, Heavy Clutch, Airbag in steering wheel, Stock mirrors, Radio, Front speakers etc.. Im not sure if i am forgetting anything but thats off the top of my head..

What the average reader misses is these cars weigh ~3200 lbs stock. Its not easy to shave over 450lbs from a car. Without those massive weight savings and track tire use the time goes right back to ~10.9-11.0 at 130 ish. Pretty close to what Boltz already achieved with the snail months ago in a nice street car
Someday someone needs to make a nice video on how to lighten you car to the extremes. It would be an invaluable video to see in detail how to remove 450 pounds from a car.

The RS is not the same as what it was.. The car has stock rear brakes, No BR lightweight parts, No light driveshaft, steel trunk, heavy clutch, and i am sure more i am not thinking of.. This is why the car is called the bastard.. it was a shell 2 months ago stripped bare that people were stealing parts off.. I had to borrow a bumper and hood just to run the car...

Based on the recent weight numbers it would appear the car really hasn't changed all that much at all. Your saying that you have replaced some light weight parts with heavier stock parts yet the weight your reporting is virtually the same as when this RS went 8.98 with lightweight parts such as a carbon drive shaft, light weight rear diff supports, lightweight small disc clutch kit, etc. Numbers don't lie so something certainly isn't right......
