Chas, I was going to ignore it, but since you brought it up....
My car weighs 2,128 lbs. I'm willing to bet that Patrick's car is more than > 10% heavier than mine.
Patrick was right when he said that I run Yokos though. |

Rod,
NEVER ignore a BS attempt when you see one... 
My car is 2650 wet-his is at least that (I'm being charitable) with an extra bar, heavier wheels and tires and " tons of aluminum" as he blathers (missing the oxymoron).
At your weight your p/w ratio is 3.5-mine is 4.8. At 500 pounds less, that's like adding 100+ HP. With Nittos or M/T's you can easily run 10.3's all day.
You should do that Dude...

Only pointing out the weight discrepancy, due to Patrick's inadequate estimates, because I kinda like picking on Patrick. That's all.  |

I just pulled the results of the "weigh day" we had three years ago. With me not in the car, the weight was 2651 with a half tank of gas and the top and a small satchel of tools in the trunk. Had I known yours would tun out to be a pound lighter I would have drained my tank that morning. 
EDIT -- The official chart says I was 2653. I could have still beat you had I just had one less gallon of gas in the car.

Well, if I had one of those plastic distributor gears instead of bronze, then I might have been able shave off another oz. too. Darn it. |

Well, you've got 500 lbs and maybe 100 horses on me. You'd have to strip that distributor gear for me to catch you....  |

My Daytona Coupe weighs less than your car with me in it. Under 2400 without me. So there.
of course it only has a little 347 in it.
