    I have not been following any mods you have done. Was this with a swapped engine, or stock with mods or...?

        1460 lbs? What'd you pull out of it? Holy crap.

        That fart can is probably slowing you down.

          So you weigh 300 lbs? I can't imagine how you could get the weight of the car down to 1460 without taking out some of the body itself. I doubt that pulling the entire interior including the heater box and dash, except the driver's seat, would get you below 1600.

          How did you do it, or is your claimed weight a typo?

          Greg, what does Casper weigh without the rear seat?

                    Yup. Just as Tom delivered it. Plus the weight of a couple cans of spray paint. Probably offset by the amount of grease I removed from under the hood.

                          I think it's very good times for a 300 lb. guy in a stock festy. My car when it was stock. Ran a 12.35 @ 59 mph in the 1/8th.

                              slicks on a stock festiva? thats like hunting with a rocket launcher since a stock festiva's times are not impressive, if you had an engine swap done then i can understand the slicks but to each their own i guess

                              If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?
