Guys,
I have been on this forum for a while here and there and I would like to make more of a mild build thread. I have tracked my Vette at HPDE events several times and just love it. To the point i don't even like driving the vette around town. So in an effort to be safer i am making the vette more track only. I will be keeping it street legal. I really want to take a lot of weight out of the vehicle. I will not be going crazy just looking for ways to reduce weight cheaply. Example i am not buying tons of Carbon fiber.

Base Car
- 2006 Z51 6MT LT3 LS2 car

Mods the last time i weighed => 3050lbs on scales
- Stainlesswork headers 1 3/4" to 3" collector

I am really currious what my new total weight will be?

I hope 2950 or less

The goal is low 2800lbs before i start swaping out to carbon body panels and expensive stuff.





I opened up my gauge cluster and took out the lights, it could not have been easier. Look at the attached pictures below. I just did not want to pay $200 for a fancy electrical connector.

Questions that i have:
- will my seatbelt chime?
- will the CPU body harness tell me to buckle my seatbelt?
- any other issues i need to worry about (besides inspection (got that covered ))

BTW:
- i am making a pure HPDE car, no airbags, full 6point, harness bar, recaro pole positions, ...

I wish i could change my name on this forum to HUMVETTE because that is my name on all my other forums?

I also wish i could change the name of the thread to the title of the first post???

Is there anyway to do that?
