i've been considering this for my roof as the pad has deteriorated to the point the headliner is sagging.

Pete , I have to agree but to each his own I guess. If you want quiet , buy a cadillac.

Pete the added weight is 76 pounds (.07 seconds) If I lost 100# the added gain is .10 seconds, I would still be up .03 seconds. End result instead of running a 12.0 flat, It is a 12.2 car. Not even remotely fast by any means. Device used was a SPL LAB PRO.

I will just have more engine work done that way I wont even have to go on a diet. On a serious note it was a very heavy Z to start with you have to add the 200# for the Callaway Aerobody.

Device used was a SPL LAB PRO.[/QUOTE] Bob, I like your thought process about this. Also only race cars down hills and jack up the rear so that your Z is perpetually going down hill. It will be faster and offset the weight added. That is what I would do. LOL ![]() Just kidding of course...... You mentioned hearing loss.... you aren't kidding, I had to stop at Wally World to pick up some ear plugs driving home. I already have ringing in my ears from flying helicopters.
