Sorry to burst your bubble, but, Ultra light and ZR-1 is an oxymoron.

:D

Oh, I dunno if ya could call it "Ultra light", but Pete removed so much stuff from his Green Monster e.g., AC compressor/condensor, aluminum (I'll call it) "chin" brace, the "heavy carpet", put lightening holes in non-critical pieces... We even suspected (being that he's Greek n all) that he prolly was driving "commando" and had lightening holes in his socks! (Pete said that wasn't true. He said he doesn't wear socks!!;))

You'd have to ask Pete, but at one point I believe he said it weighed around 3200# on the scales(?).

Update!... I have the engine transmission and some accessories pulled out and now will tear down the engine for the 378 build and then prep the car to dismantle....

Pete is actually bulemic and urinates prior to any run in his car. True to his Greek tradition, he uses Colonblow to get to race weight.
