I haven't had it on the scales in the past but it should way about 2300 to 2400 lbs. I'm sure other Lone Star owners will chime in the to tell a more factual weight. That's a good question about ET's or 1/4 mile times.. Full slicks will be about the only way to utilize any where near the engine's potential. I would imagine in the 10s with 130+ ETs. Driver skill will play a major part in the equation too. As the ol' saying goes... "What does a 300 hp and a 700 hp turbo Supra have in common?" ... "12 second quarter mile times..." I can tell you that I was extremely impressed with Keith's quality of machine work and the attention to detail. Every part, bolt and gasket was the crem-de-la-crem!
