No kidding, but very radical, and very funny.

These guys got the Econobox down from 16.3s quarters to 14.4 with a few mods. Free - no not really - just a question of definition. You pay in depreciation, not investment cost in parts...

I'm suprised they didn't make the driver drive naked with no helmet that would have saved them a couple of pounds!

Damn that thing is light; although I don't know if the track would like that kind of weight reduction very much. I guess that's the only way to get the imports close to the American cars.

I've seen that before, but it's just as funny the second time around.

I'll bet that made some ricers cringe seeing them destroy a car like that. it didnt look that bad either. those guys could have sold it and made some money to spend on their trucks.
