a mates got a Ford XB Coupe Twin Turbo V8 just sorting it out at the moment, but plans are to run 9's. it weighs 3960lbs.

few heavyweights out there that aren't Ford's, Arby's WAR440 Dodge weighs just under 4200lbs and the Twin Turbo CV Performance Chevy Monte Carlo is around 4400lbs. Arby's shooting for 8.5's and i know the Monte Carlo is in the 9's @ 140+mph.

You are right on my car Jai. With the SBF it weighed in at 3592lb without the bonnet so 3600lb I reckon with it. Yours is a lightweight. Rob B and I can't believe you got that much weight out without it being noticible looking at the car. Well done, that's a top effort. Jason

While not in the same league as you guys, my old ZC Fairlane weighed 3498lbs with me in it, in full street trim. Ran 10.1's at 132mph. Just thought I'd post it to show that the old barges, while not very aerodynamic, can be relatively light.

Looking at them , there is no way i would think a ZC would be lighter than my Soarer with driver by 150 pounds !!!

Very light for a ZC and Congrats on those times , flat 10's is stout as
