i have read alot on here about weight reduction and finding thing to take off the your really dont need when turning the awsome creations ( i'd like to call them mustangs) into drag cars. so i guess what im asking is i want to know the weight of your mustang and what you took off to get it there. pics would be awsome.

My car weighs 3300-3400 depending on gas with me in it. I have removed whatever I could from the back of my seat to the trunk, removed pieces of suspension that I dont need anymore and a couple other little things here and there that I dont need anymore. Depending on how much time you have, and what you dont mind losing, you can get them below 3000lbs fairly easily

not sure on that i just done some research on how much the 04 weighs and thats what i found. some years might be different i dunno, i just needed to know because i wanted an estimate what it would weight with my fat ass in it which is 3850 not including gas, so i figure i am damn near 4000 with a half to quarter tank
