What were the results at the track?

You missed the hood liner, the glove box door, the rear view mirror, the shift knob, the head rest on the driver seat, the battery (replace with a small motorcycle battery), the center caps on the wheels, both sway bars, the pcm and master cylinder covers on the firewall, the windshield wash bottle, and last but not least just wear a hospital gown, shave your head and get an enema.

I haven't run yet...................track doesn't open for 2 more hours. This will be the last time I run my Charger at the track so I want the opportunity for THE best possible times.

They say 100lbs = 1/10. You are only 40lbs from that 2nd 1/10th!

That's the difference between being able to say "hey, I run low 13's"............which is unimpressive to most......................and saying "hey, I run high 12's" which was my goal(that I achieved last time out with interior in the car).

How about draining the water out of your wiper reservior, remove the windshield wipers, sunvisors, and don't forget an enema and to empty your bladder for an added pound or two. Just kidding, who knew that stuff weighed so much.

[GasGunR]

I could do that by letting 65Standard drive my car

[MR-SMITH]

Laxatives could help you reduce your weight also.

LMAO!

And just what are you laughing?! Not like we ain't seen your Maggie nekkid!

[magnumdude]

what about the carpet the headliner the ac the stereo spare tire jack and lug wrench console and all the stuff in the glove box? Should weigh about as much as a bug.

My SWAG says your gained about 15HP by losing 157lbs.

I understand 95% of the people on here aren't into racing and just bought their cars because they are shiney and can fit 24'' wheels. I made the post for those who wish to easily remove a decent amount of weight to gain an edge at the track. My removing the above items listed netted a personal best time at the track last night.................12.8 @108.1 with a 1.96 60'.

^^ hey we're just joshin...12.8....right on. I ran 14.2 with a stock R/T while (no kidding) eating a hot dog and running the ac. Doh!!! such a bonehead! Made a bunch of members laugh!

Good times. I do the same thing when I race my TA at the track. I can usually pull about 150 pounds pretty easily. Mostly my sub box/amp setup, spare tire, jack and seats. The suggestion for the wiper fluid was actually a good one. On the TA the wiper fluid reservoir holds about 2 gallons and is located right in the nose of the car.
