Dieting A Malibu

[shotgun]

I prefer a DOT approved windshield unless you are going all out with a serious drag only car (8z and below).

They do help with structure as stated but if you are in the lexan/poly window zone chances are you have a rollbar or cage so that is not as much of an issue.

Check my spreadsheet for some ideas. I have managed to get 800# out of my piggy GP.

The first couple hundred #s come out easy,after that start looking for ozs.

Good lord, that's what I like to hear!! Lol. In the process of skinnying up my cutlass. Would like to keep the stock "pillow top" seats just for the funny factor for alittle while. My goal weight is 3K, hopefully I can hit that without the car looking gutted. But that's a serious little car you've got, I like it! 10 ohhs aren't an easy task, but single digits is where it at though 😉 lol.
