Before I decided to get a GT for my new Mustang, I was seriously considering buying a 2.3L to convert into a track car. Basically, I wonder how much weight would be shaved off a base model EB MT-82, if you did a bunch of mods. Maybe you guys could shed some light on how much weight would be saved if I had done the following...
- Anderson cf Hood
- Anderson cf Trunk
- Anderson cf front fascia
- Koenig Dekagram wheels
- Michelin 285/35/19's
- Ford Performance springs/sway bars
- K-Member
- Shrader rear seat Delete.
- Lund Ngauge and tune.
Basically take a $20,000 EB base model stick shift, and throw $6,000 worth of goodies at it to lighten it, and tune it up to a good 350+hp. Lower it, stiffen it up for the track. I wonder if it would be too difficult to get it down to 3,000lbs.
I just can't help but wonder what might have been. Has anyone here gone to this extent with the new Ecoboost?
