the srt 8s that is, srt10-3300lbs,11's stock....WEIGHT o yes.. loosing that last 2-300 pounds usually means either

1. EXTREME EXPENSE - carbon rotors, panels, light rims etc so u end with a 200+k car OR
2. weight reduction that costs later in quality and durability - GM OR
3. a car that looks like a go-cart - Aero

besides I just ditched my fat ass girlfriend (Shaniqua). I roll lighter, and alone.
