Looking over my notes the Daytona was still rather porky- 3000lbs with driver. Base turbo Daytona's, Shadows or l-bodies are all lighter. I removed the drivers power seat bottom, pulled the driving lights, a horn, a pair of speakers and ultimately bolted on a set of Bogarts out back.
Svelte it wasn't, but did get into the 12's which was the goal.
I know guys who went way farther than I did- Light seats, no HVAC, fuel cell, bumpers cut to ribbons, hole sawed brackets.
Hell I was still running air conditioning and the drivers power enthusiast seat and electric windows and locks!
Yes I drove the car for years and years till it rotted away, year round.
Cecil County, 11-14-16 CSX runs 12.80 at 107 mph.
I don't think it is so extreme, I didn't even push the car that hard.
Been sorely tempted to drop in something more stout in the CSX along with an automatic and a huge Bosch pump in the tank but all this fooling about just would delay when the Reliant returns to the track and I must restrain myself. 'gotta keep eyes on the ball and not get distracted.
