Kevin your car is a pig. Time for stomach bypass surgery. I just got mine to shed at least 150lbs.

Pull the back seats (at least the top pieces), get the trunk empty (spare et all) and R/R the front seats w/ GT3's or some other lightweight version (no motors) .... that is a couple tons right there. And eat like a canary/sh$t like elephant...

Kevin, you're killing me. Did my Gt2 numbers have anything to do with this? Well if anything, it will get you in better shape, you could easily get down to 200lbs. Just lay off the pizza and beer and get on the treadmill/stairmaster/weight room/pool/sauna/bicycle/rowing machine/abflex. Did I miss any?

This leads me to point out how much of a difference a GT2 on a slight diet can make at the 1/4 track...
Unfortunately we categorize tts and gt2s in the same pool.... Clearly GT2s have an advantage at the 1/4 track... not to mention it doesnt have PSM which really hurts us guys at the start... LSD is another plus that we do not have...
I think there are only 4 non tuner cars on 6speed that ran 10s.... 2 of which are GT2s... And Im pretty sure 3 out of the 4 are on a decent diet...
Im only speculating...

I can tell you that a GT2 vs a TT has about a 23% time advantage over a 62-124mph run. About 20% from hp/weight advantage and a net of about 3% between advantage of 4WD losses and offset by worse aerodynamics. These are rough estmates of course.
