Rear seat delete?

Orangester · September 24th, 2007, 05:45 PM

I'm looking at a rear seat delete for my car that i'll install on the big race weekends around here. How much do you think I'd benefit in the 1/4 with this done? Is it even worth the trouble? If it could shave .3's of a second that wouldnt be so bad but i'm doubting its usefullness. Any opinions?

any kind of weight reduction will shave off some time.

generally, on a 14 second car, every 100 lbs is .1 in the 1/4 off your e.t

that article is about weight reductions and how to remove the seat...

tjames · September 24th, 2007, 06:41 PM

actually the original poster wanted to remove the seat for race purposes. he is looking to cut .3 off his e/t. he will more likely save .1 though.
