I already played with every option and the ONLY way to get that light would be to change the chassis. I have removed just about every gram i could with out goin to the extreme. Will get you a weight of my vehicle over my weekend. 3850lb is our startin weight...the ZO6 tips in at 3105 roughly... |

I dont know where you are in terms of lightening, but then theres always punching various size holes in everything, yay ol skool tricks... |

You could just get the stickers if you want to look cool like these guys do.. 
or you can get the real deal... 
Hope your V is as quick as the RX8...  |

I have been told the fabricator utilizes a Vacuum and Infusion method. Not as bad as wet lay up, not as nice as pre-preg. |

the whole point of carbon fiber is strength a weight guys...how about a carbon fiber engine block? bwahahahahahahahaaa! carbon fiber looks cheap to me, paint it! so realistically? hood, doors (with proper support, nobody wants to get tboned and...well...die), trunk lid, and of course the random ground effects. reality of the fact is that if you make anything and it has functionality with it as well...we will probably buy it as long as we dont need to take out a loan to afford it! |

How about carbon brakes!!! Functional and cool as hell. 
Rotational weight = 4x as heavy as static. |

I would think hood and widened front fenders would be the place to start - get more room for some decent sized rubber under this heavy pig, and take some weight off the nose. Even those items I'm sure are going to be $$$, though. Realistically, there are very, very, very few people on this forum who are going to pony up the cash for limited production CF parts.

the center dash piece (including maybe gauge pod instead of ashtray), sunroof control panel and door handle surrounds would look NICE, IMO. NOT OVERLAYS, those suck. |

+1 on Center gauge pod. That would sell. This is all just pointless talk until this dude mocks somthing up. | | Cadillac Discussion Tools | | |
