The 91' doesn't have that airbag anyway. You could go for a lightweight steering wheel with no driver side bag too.
If it's going to be a drag car, lighter wheels (bigs and littles), lose the front anti-sway bar, the horns, the headlights and motors, wipers and motors, console and wiring, lots of wiring. Smaller gas tank. Fiberglass bumpers without impact bars or re-enforcement, Swiss cheese the frame.... Uh, oh, this is starting to sound like a real "deathtrap", so it would have to have a chrome-moly cage... more weight.

Great project. Any more weight it could lose not mentioned yet?

BTW, that ZR-1 you're stripping seems almost too nice to be ripping apart. Why not one of the raggedy ones that pop up for less than 10K?

Hey Bob, the first thing we're doing after tearing most of the car part is the verify with NASA(auto...not aeronautic).. assess from them what we have to have for racing, then we also verify with DOT with what the car has to have to be on the road. I'll friend and client that we are doing this for is primarily focused on weight savings, however I want to see this thing be on a track as well as a monster car on the street.(probably NOT possible)

Something's we are pulling currently are: all internals in the dash for HVAC and AC the steering wheel the brake booster(possibly going to a small internal wilwood), windshield, rear glass.

Engine is out and porting is already movin along.

IH port BEFORE

same IH port AFTER.

Ill have more pics later.

Pics above are rough cut but gives the gravity of porting and its abilities.

The car came from washington state and body looks pretty good...however was in pretty bad shape everywhere else....me personally I restore ZR1s, although the opprotunity to build the lightest ZR1 in history, and have a blast doing it...then experience the results...pretty cool..

Beautiful job.

I like your goal of keeping it "street legal".
