Do you own your car simply to drag it? If you were to go to the track and run 2 tenths worse than the time before, would you get pissed? If not, then yes it is obsessive, but you ask any person that owns their car to do nothing but drag... every few pounds matters...
Obsessive yes... I think washing your car two times a week and waxing it every month is obsessive, but I don't show my car, as long as it is relativly clean and goes fast its ok!

he makes a good point tho. a lot of imports are fast just cause they weigh so little and have maybe 300 horsepower with a turbo and they run mid 13's. If you can lighten up a hihg horsepower car with just small stupid things it can make a pretty big difference.

It is a good idea to lighten up the car- less weight is always a faster car.

imports are lighter because they're all rice and thats like one of the first mods. but hey if you have it to simply drag and not as a dd then i see your point.

lightening up the car is always a good idea, you pull the backseats, jack and spare tire, and perhaps a few other things, you've lost a nice amount of weight.

it all depends on what you want from the car, me personaly it's not worth the extra noise you'll get, that's why I have my cutlass in MI (if I ever get a new engine in it) it has a drivers seat, a passengers seat can be bolted in for street duty, no carpet, an aluminum dash, a custom steering column and no door panels, but it went (notice the past tense) pretty quick (never got a recorded time before eating a valve)

yeah good point, I didn't realize you only own it to drag it -- I thought it was your dd.

Thats cool! I bought it originally to use it as a DD/show car... then I started getting into dragging it... I had another car I was going to drag but this one just has so much potential, I couldnt pass it up!

camaro94

you could still show it... I'd like to see more drag oriented cars at the shows I go to.

Bottlefed B4C

The last show I took it to, people were open minded about it, I rolled in to the show with open headers and purging the hell out of it! When they saw the helmet, timeslips, and everything else they were a little hesitant but most people thought it was cool... So next year I may make it to a few shows and see how she does...

A nice lopey cam will get you noticed even more...trust me- esp with wide open exhaust.

So many old people turned around expecting to see an older car..it was fun to see the surprised look on their faces to see a 4th gen!!
