damn you've aparently looked a lot into that. lol 10's all motor is NOT gonna be easy OR cheap. don't think I'm THAT serious about my car. lol I'm gonna be happy with 12's.
to see 10's you're going to need 300 whp and weigh 1800 w/ driver to even START thinkin bout a 10.99 IMO.

how much do you think in general a carbon fiber hood saves you in weight?

Not that much...don't know...maybe 20 lbs max since the stock is pretty light to begin with compared with other cars. My carbon fiber hood "feels" a lot lighter than stock but the stock wasn't heavy at all.

^^ haha I guess I have to work out more or something  So on the celica, a carbon fiber hood is mainly for looks unlike the huge weight saving on other cars. So it really wouldn't make sense to paint a carbon fiber on a celica would it?

I guess the best way to reduce the weight is to loss your weight (driver), if a 180lbs guy and a 110lbs guy both drive the same car, that would be a big difference.

I would say removing the spare tire and jack + a low tank of gas would be more legit than taking out your seats, paneling and carpet etc., come on!

sure it aint sexy to some...but what is legit? yes, certainly no show car...but some people actually like the race car look, those who live to race and race to win, and where winning is the only thing that matters. Besides the car still looks nice from the outside.

It might as well not even look like a Celica then. But I guess your right, people will do whatever it takes even if it's extreme to win races!

most cars only glimpse my rear anyways  if they dont they'll be too worried why I'm still there to notice if I have rear seats or not
