FFR vs Superformance

[steven566]

How heavy is the SPF? I was under the impression that the FFR with a 302 is about 2100 lbs. Is this correct? I've never weighed my car, so I don't know, plus the supercharger has to add some weight.

From what I can tell my SPF is about 2350lbs, small block, with about a half tank of gas, no occupants. I enjoy a few trips to the drag strip each year and then just fart around town with a hit through a couple gears now and again. The car runs really straight and is reasonably solid. I did pick up a set of 17s with some Yokohama A032R soft compound tires for a club event on the road course at Firebird a while back. The car didn't work anything like the shifter kart I had years back, but it was fun and served the purpose for an armature driver like myself. I drove about 80%, which might be 70% of a good driver. If I wanted to get all hardcore on the road course or autocross I really think there would be some better options for much less money.

From the on-line SPF manual, here are the following weight estimates:
roller only = 1840 lbs
w/302 = 2420 lbs
w/351 = 2485 lbs
w/427 = 2590 lbs
w/460 = 2645 lbs
