I didn't really like the Areocoupe Monte and I don't like the looks of the hacked up Grand National.........JMO of course.That's what makes us good people we all have our likes and dislikes on this forum and we are entitled to them..That being said....As it's a G body I will support what was or will be done....He has balls to do that to his ride....ROCK ON :!:

There's nothing from a GN that can't be put on a black Regal with GN wheels. If you wanna cut it up go for it.

I would think that would be a good thing. I know I could use more weight on the rear of the car to help plant some rubber.

I never knew how those aerocoup trunks opened. Thanks for the excellent pics. Well done!

if you ever want to add weight it is never a good thing to add the weight at the top of the car.....

I have my opinions about their rides also, but I played it cool hoping to score some 'likes' over there. I seen immediately that they just can't post "tasteful dislikes" because of their lack of education.

I would think that if you add weight up high it would plant the rear tires better. This is due to fact that the sudden forward motion of the car during take-off would make the front end pull up and the rear press down??

The higher the weight the less stable the car is. I don `t know how weight bias affect a drag car but I do know it`s impossible to get the weight bias to set up a metric for the optimum handling. We were restricted in modifying a metric for circle track and the forward position and height of the engine made it impossible to obtain the weight bias we were looking for and the most wedge we could achieve was a few % too few. That`s with lightening up the car as much as possible to place the lead where we wanted.
