Im full CF less the shell, I dont even know how that is possible to run a CF shell in our cars with out a tube chassis. in any event, like i said every bolt on-able panel is CF on my car, I don't think I've lost 500-600lbs just in body parts, but it would be nice if I have. as for lexan I have looked into getting all the windows replaced with lexan and the price is not cheap at all.


No offence, but the vast majority of carbon fiber bolt ons commonly found in the aftermarket are designed for looks moreso than actual weight reduction. As such, many weigh nearly as much as their stock counterparts.

Squidskins offered the following for the 2G in carbon fiber:
- hood
- front bumper (98 Talon only)
- front fenders
- door skins (interior and exterior)
- dash
- driver's seat
- hatch
- rear bumper cover

I've spoken with owner before. He said that the Archer car (ever see that black and yellow Talon with the Eagle logo on the side? That one) realized a greater than 500lb weight reduction with all parts installed.

For a consistent drag racer, 100lbs is a tenth in the quarter. So, for a consistent wheelman, 500lbs would mean half a second, no other mods included. Add more power and it's exponential.

Twincharging is cool when you need a super flat torque "curve" as you do in rally. Ray makes something like 500lb-ft from 2200-7000rpm. He liquifies ACT clutches regularly with that set up. Tip in more than 20% throttle at highway speeds in 5th gear and he's slipping the clutch, without even having his foot near the pedal!
