Project? TBird SC vs. Monte SS

[HectorM52]

It's a shame to hear that the SC's are so heavy. Any easy ways to lighten them up? Steel bumper supports? Change to all aluminum motor (LS??)? Anything?

Anyway, the SC gets my vote even though I'm through and through a Chevy guy...

...I remember back in high school this one dude had done his RIGHT. Reminds me of the one posted earlier doin' the Auto-x. I remember him lighting them up at one intersection and I was immediately in love.



Plus, did someone say IRS??? I mean, come on, that should be the deciding factor!!!

Just the power seats weigh about 85 pounds each, so going with aftermarket seats, and removing some sound deadening, can get 150 lbs. or more out of the car. Most of them tend to be pretty well equipped too, power driver's seat, A/C, power locks and windows, optional moonroof and pass. power seat. My 95 5-speed with just about every option available scaled at around 3,850 with me in it, and I'm a skinny bastid.

Here is a shot of my 95 getting hammered around Shannonville in eastern Ontario at an SVT club event I was helping out at a few years back:
